    I had to STOP the video just to say THANK YOU. You express yourself well; you go step-by-step, and the camera view is exactly what a tutorial should be. Once again, thank you for sharing you passion and talents. May God bless you. Give us MORE MORE like this. NOW, after viewing the whole video, and looking at your "time-stamp" indicator, the various supply and viewing suggestions, I HAVE to thank you once again. You put a lot of thought in this video. I will definitely click the "like" and "subscribe" buttons. By the way, thank you for the soothing piano music. Only one question remains: who is playing the piano and what is the title of the selection?

Do you conduct courses folks can attend to start and advance in calligraphy. I am a fountain pen enthusiast and am interested in exploring calligraphy. There sure is a lot of content out there, but this one clicked for me. Is there a learning path I can take that you offer on this. Please do let me know. Also what is the green guideline background you were using in the video. Very useful to set things up like you have shown. Thanks again !

    But the cost of pilot parallel pen is so high that it is difficult to buy for a beginners so I use some different method to write calligraphy. Adhe to jugad par ho jata hai

  • @thecalligraphyraven3559

    @thecalligraphyraven3559

    That's true. The cost of the Pilot Parallel Pen is high in India. If you have anyone coming from the US, you can get it from there. If you have to buy in India, I'll suggest get one pen (6mm or 3.8mm). They cost around 1200/- each. Anyone who's really interested in calligraphy and plans on using them long-term, will find immense value. I have mine for over 5 years now and I don't regret it buying cause it covers the cost in the long run. Having said that, I understand that it's still expensive. And yes, jugaad and creativity are good options too :)
