Thank you for this info
I sure wish I had seen this about 8 straight pens ago!
Best explanation I’ve seen yet
What about straight pens with elbow nibs? Do they provide the same results as oblique pens?
Is it easy to transfer lettering from paper to rock?
I just got a beginner calligraphy set. It had ink cartridges (maybe an inch long) that are pressed into the frame that holds the nib and the ink flows like that of a pen… so no dunking in ink. Does this need to be cleaned in the same manner? Just started out so this is a whole new world for me lol.
I turn my paper 45 degrees counter clockwise, like a right handed person would
What oblique brand of pen do you recommend for beginners?
so basically an oblique pen is for those dumbasses who do not know how to turn the paper!
Aah perfect 🙂🙏!
Thank you I learned so much.
From where to get the practice sheet downloaded?
I am facing issues while forming upstrokes ...it gets stuck on the paper..please help
You are most likely applying too much pressure - there should be zero pressure applied on your upstrokes. It’s also possibly the tools you are using. We cover this more thoroughly in our starter kit which includes tools curated to work well together for beginners. You can find it in our online shop here: laurahooperdesignhouse.com/calligraphy-supplies-and-education
Useful instruction I haven't heard before! Thank you. I can see where your sample packet would come in handy--What a great idea!
Good valuable tips especially for us, begnners in Calligraphy. Thanks much and continue on giving us more advice and helpful tips on improving our skills.
Thank you! Very helpful and straight to the point.
Thank you for explaining to a newcomer 👏
Hi Laura, I just love this video. You demonstrate and present it so relaxed and clearly. As a beginner I’d like to buy your starter kit. But do you ship to the UK?
Also an option to thicken ink is to let it try with an open lid over night so the water evaporates :) youre welcome
Very informative.
So.. here is my issue. after dipping my broad nip the reservoir is filled. Actually its 2 issues. 1: after dipping when the nip is applied to paper its waaaaaay to wet so you cannot create the cool thin lines. 2. how does one adjust the reservoir for best results. inuse speedbal C-2 nib.
very beautiful, have you ever used recycled paper coated with glue and egg white to make calligraphy
How do you hold it for Copperplate?
Although my hand writing is more akin to neanderthal cave paintings compared to your beautiful script I find that it improves with very heavy papers when using my fountain pens. When I write upon watercolour paper it dramatically improves, although there are some bleeding issues, is there a heavy paper you can recommend that I may precure here in the United Kingdon.
This was fantastic info, thank you very much for explaining this!
Getting better faster, I like the sound of that!
Thank you very informative
You have a beautiful control in hand . Lovely video !!!!
DO you have practice words with? Thanks Bo
This video really helped me lot. Thank you for posting it.
So glad this was helpful!
I got a question! What may I use for cleaning my old nib? Can I clean it with natural oil?
Very good video to watch👌🏼👍💯
Thank you so very much-I've got all the equipment for Copperplate calligraphy and am having trouble getting the thick/thin line variation; hopefully this will help.
I am unable to buy promice
Mam plzzzzzzzzzzz🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼give me 1 calligraphy pen.😥😥😥
Thanks!! This helped me alot!! I have a question..how do you clean rust out of nibs? I am a messy artist and i don’t usually clean my nibs so it stains in ink and started to rust
Who whoa, the tilte says how to hold your calligraphy pen, not oblique
So basically if I have a fountain pen I just write if I had it like a straight pen holder
It really helped me . Thanks!
Thank you very much Laura, great advice, from a new subscriber in England. X
Thx
Thicken ink using gum arabic. Or dip your nib into it before loading with ink.
thankyou miss!
Are there some tips to relieve and prevent neck soreness? I tend to bend my neck while writing.
Useful..thanks
Thank You
Can use water to clean? Or have to just clean with a tissue paper? Waiting for reply 💖💖
Title - 101 % Nibs - 0 %
