Hello Shin, I have been learning from you for about 3 years now, beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic. What a thrill to see you have a book. I love your style of writing, it suits my own hand from the past. Keep up the great work promoting another lost art.

Your beautiful writing for inspired me thankyou so much

Thank you for sharing Schin! Hope you are well and safe

No reasonably priced Tamblyn's available on Amazon....but other's have it. I'm glad you went through these books so thoroughly. TY.

Your voice is so soothing!

👍 👍 Thank you very much for sharing the information. Your beautiful handwriting has inspired me. I just finished Spencerian Penmanship Book 4 and will start Book 5 tomorrow. I also received the Tamblyn book today from John Neal and will start using it when I am done with Book 5.

I really love your style and want to stick to it., so I ordered Spencerian Penmanship Practice Book. I should have bought it earlier.

Not gunna lie! I think is soooo cool you collect those penmenship books. I agree its really neat looking at other peoples handwriting from a long time ago.

Thank you so so much for your classes, I have learnt so much from you! There is just one other thing I would love to know is can you recommend a pen that I can get that will be perfect for this? I would ideally love a fine cartridge pen, Many thanks Fiona xxx

I really love your videos and handwriting

I bought the five mott media spencerian copybooks, right now I am starting the second half of the third book, and the my current handwriting is uncomparable to what it was a few weeks ago, I find really nice to look at it after its done.

Spencerian and Sull say combined movement, Tamblyn and Palmer forearm movement, what to do?

Flourishing class would be great!!!

Love the writing videos that may come in the future! Could you please let us know if any nibs you use have been modified It would be less stressful for me if I know why my pilot 74 will not preform like yours ect...

@OpenInkStand

4 жыл бұрын

My only modified nibs were a Namiki Falcon from older videos (I've sold it since) and a Pilot Custom 912 (recently used). I'm sure your 74 is fine!

When I started watching your videos two months ago I ordered the Palmer book, which speaks a lot about “the writing machine”.. is the way he teaches holding the pen and using the arm “universal” across these systems? Love your videos!

@OpenInkStand

Oh man if you ask 3 people how they should hold the pen you'll get 5 answers.. just hold the pen however is comfortable for you in a way that you can achieve beautiful letters. Good luck!!

I used to have a collection of penmanship books. My favorite was one that featured a vertical style, I don’t remember what it was called. If I remember correctly the lower case letter p was open a the bottom similar to a letter h . My collection got damaged while in storage. A great loss to me because most from the late 1800s.

I love learning handwriting! Such a unique experience.

First of all I must say a good video. I have a request for you. Which movement should be dominant in writing (normal size everyday writing)? Do we write by moving fingers or wrist or both?

@OpenInkStand

Fingers or forearm.. the wrist should not be moving too much!

I am inspired to take spencerian through your videos. I have ordered the book "art of cursive writing" from amazon. P.S. subscribed too :)

Thank you for the book recomandations, in my language we have the letters æ ø å Is there another Spencerian book with examples for the Norwegian alpabeth letters æ ø å 🤷‍♂️🔎

@adonishtar

3 жыл бұрын

The ø and å shouldn't be too different from the normal 'o' and 'a'. You just add the extra marks, much like the accent marks for French. The tricky one is æ. I'd try to just connect an 'a' and 'e' together. Just my thoughts.

Thanks I am iranian and excuse me my english language is not very good But l must tell you, l very learning of you and thank you

I own the Specerian books, but I haven't started using them because I'm not sure what kind of pen to use. Should I practice with an extra fine pen, or should I jump straight into learning with an oblique nib? If I start with a regular pen, will I be able to switch to an oblique nib easily? Or would it be best to practice with my intended writing instrument? Thanks for any advice!

@OpenInkStand

4 жыл бұрын

If you are unfamiliar with an oblique penholder, I would recommend starting with a fine pen or pencil. As long as you start your foundation with good letterforms, you should be able to transition to an oblique penholder and nib with less trouble. Doing it the other way round might be too frustrating for a beginner!

What pen did you use, I could see pentel 0.3 but I did not like Pentel EnerGel because it is too thick. I liked the texture of Pilot G105 but they do not come in 0.3 mm

Hi Schin, just wanted to see how you are. It’s been a couple years since you uploaded and I just wanted to check on you. I hope all is well ❤

Saya tertarik dan menonton videonya dengan senang hati,,

"my jank a** handwriting" LOLLL

I am considering getting the spencerian book with the 5 copybooks, i think copybooks will be a great way to improve. I am exclusively doing this with the intent to do calligraphy. Can I use ink and a dip pen on the copybooks or is it not meant for that? Is there a spencerian book where you you use a dip pen and ink?

@OpenInkStand

3 жыл бұрын

It's a great book, but the paper quality might not be suitable for dip nib and ink. You can buy the book but do your practice on better quality paper.

Spencerian done well looks beautiful. Palmer is ok, but the Victorians were the masters of style.
