Can I Break All The Rules in Copperplate Script
My first fountain pen comes in a few days so I'm looking forward to improving my penmanship. I should definitely run through these exercises. Great video, thanks!
Please provide the link pdf
@@user-xt5kn5iz6p sorry buddy there is no pdf of book just the hard copy of it. Check description for link and buy a copy. Thanks for watching.
Now it’s freezing can’t do anything but unplug or hold the reset button on the PS5, when I respawn back in it puts me inside a block. I lose everything. The PS5 is the worst console I have ever bought since I started gaming age 5 early 80’s.
Hello
I watch your videos because of your "British Accent" and Calligraphic Content. Good Luck. Keep it up.
Nicely done! I would definitely enjoy seeing some more of you playing tunes. :)
Can I use a regular pen?
I reckon you could depends on the script you are trying to write and you might need to draw it instead of writing it.
Great job!, What type of paper do you have?
It’s a cross between watercolour paper and cartridge. It’s not bad but gets the job done for practice work. Thanks for watching.
@@williambanks8914 Thank u for replying!
Great book! Well written in simple language with beautiful diagrams and on quality paper.
Could do with a better Director m8 and just sack the producer!
Just get on with it
Love this! Thank you for sharing your art and ideas with the world. I would love to know where you got your circle tool. That's genius and I've never seen one in the US. Is there a name for the tool? I need one! :D
Yes, I did a review of this product here on my channel ua-cam.com/video/j_PvNED_9gs/v-deo.htmlsi=XgHRk69LHw8gZhfN thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
@@williambanks8914 I found that video after I saw the other one. Great to find your art here. Nice to meet you! Thank you for inspiring me today. Much love!
I found it a bit confusing whether I should read it left to right or read each of the columns top down, and then move to the right and top down again. I'm only on page 121 and so far it has been helpful
These are the best notebooks for fountain pen writers I know at this price point...I have been using them for more than a year now and every time I venture off in a different direction...I come right back because...they are solid. Better than Leuchtturn by far.
I agree and they feel nice to hold. Using them open or folded just seems just right with the thickness of the pad.
Looks like it’s happening again, I have to unplug to gain control of my ps5. I can’t say if it’s a Minecraft problem because it’s crashing on other games but not freezing my console. Sad in it.
i said brown terracotta but I used concrete powder and dyed it brown, but interesting thought why not get some and add that to the cake design.
I’ve been working on copperplate from watching UA-cam. But I need something more than that. I’ve been researching calligraphy books, but being on a budget, can’t buy them all right now. Thank you for this review. I needed to hear this!
You nicked my Bible! 🤣 You're doing better than i did, keep at it. 🙂👍
👀 'Promo SM'
O dear we are back to crash crash crash 💥 now it’s just freezes makes a sound urrrrrrrrrrrrr. Unplug from wall to take control of my PS5. This is just sad.
I’m thinking of doing another one but instead of a 2mm nib I’ll be using the 1cm poster nib or the 5mm nib. Coming soon.
and thank you so much for introducing us to this type of letter! I've never seen a versal black letter before
Thank you for kind words, my first attempt was always going to be bad. It’s only by trying we get better. ❤️🩹
So nice seeing the whole process! and not just not bad, a very good first attempt! Can't believe after all that effort you only gave yourself a 2! You seem like a very kind person and a talented calligrapher - i look froward to watching your future videos!!!
nice
Thanks William...if possible can u share pics of pages 8 to 12 please
do a very slight horizontal stroke before starting the vertical shades and it will create a square top. I would also stop putting so much downward pressure. Keeping that pressure is putting so much strain on the muscles of your fingers that it makes it hard to articulate the sweeping movements. Notice how your minuscules are all well formed but the capital C struggles to remain on line.
I agree with mostly all of that and I also need to slow down more. It’s only by practicing and doing can anybody learn the correct way. Your comments are very helpful and thanks for watching buddy.
Do you find it best to practice with words, letters, or letter segments? I can imagine these larger scripts are challenging because it's difficult to fit the whole motion within the range of your wrist, must take some trial and error to get the positioning right!
Yes it was tough the larger you go and I made an error in the video, the bottom of the C should be inline with the bottom of all the letters. I started doing single letters and now try my hand at words. Hopefully complete sentences and layouts. I’m trying large and small copperplate to understand my limitations. Thanks for watching.
I am a total beginner and I am looking to start to learn how to build a website and do user experience design. I really like your style and I think you should do longer videos. Thanks a lot!
Might switch to mobile IOS because it crashed again, another report send screen. Or might switch to Java version.
Hello, can i ask l, since this book is from 2014 can i still use it now and years after ?
I think you can but I say in the video Javascript gets updated every now and then, the changes made within JS over time will dictate how you write JS and it's syntax. The book goes pretty far and well in teaching the basics and most of it will still work, as of writing I'm still working through the book myself and not found any issues, I'm half the way through. If you've never touched Javascript before then this book is a must buy, use it to springboard your knowledge of JS and check the JS on Wiki, full of info to widen your scope it's only by self research you learn more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript Hope that helps.
Yep it’s crash crash crash again on the PS5, since the last update it asks me to send report twice today. Next gen console ummmm?
Amazing a silly review !!
Keep up the good work!
mine used to be fine since one of my worlds corrupted due to a power outage now it crashes almost every time I play
Same here and it lags. But over time it might just repair itself or try play the world after an update sometimes that fixes it.
Thank you so much for your review, I am a complete newbie and have checked out so many books from the library but end up not finishing them because they're not "newbie friendly". I admit I did check out this book only for its title but was intimidated by the numerous pages so I never even gave it a chance but now I will. Your review really helped dispelling any doubt. And I would gladly purchase it thru your link but I'm a mom of multiple children... one of the reasons why I chose this path of learning about web dev so that I can make money but I do wish you the best of success and am sharing your review with my son who has started learning HTML. THANKS AGAIN! Greetings from sunny South Florida. GOD BLESS.
Thank you so much for your comments and I only wish I found this book before studying web development because it would of helped so much just like the php and mysql book review I did, that book opened my eyes to basic programming skills even I was lacking. You too have a great day. Thanks for watching.
The scale of this farming operation is insane, and it is organized so well!
Thank you
Guess what it’s crashing again, I play it now to put it under stress to the point I can send the report screen comes up. I then cheer yeah did it. Not good though.
Hi William, just so your aware the reseviour slides underneath the nib and the metal inserts goes in between the 4 prongs within the actual pen and not on the sides. Hope this helps 👍🏼
Thanks for commenting and watching the vid, yeah comments below say the same thing and I’ve now got it. Using the tool the correct way definitely gives me more ink and flow to create letter’s easier. Might have to revisit those nibs.
they still haven't fixed this myn keeps crashing too
Touch wood mine not been crashing, but during a thunderstorm last year we had a power out. I lost all my loot from an ancient city run. Damn this was hard to take. I think it still crashing for some people and it’s not just Minecraft game that’s doing it there are many others doing it also. I also think it’s a PS5 console thing.
@@williambanks8914 I've contacted support and they tryna blame playstation even tho this has been a problem for next gen console I've noticed from research , they need to make the game compatible for next gen consoles
Great review. I agree, it's an excellent book. I've recommended it to many of my copperplate students.
I’ve just discovered the calligraphers bible and that has copperplate in that, but most of the letters are done under 1 stroke, might be giving that style a go soon.
@@williambanks8914 wow, copperplate in 1 stroke! I'm curious. Do you practice Spencerian script? I find it to be faster than copperplate. Both are lovely and quite different pointed pen hands.
@@CalligraphyArts I’ve heard of that and videos on it, never tried it yet. Still trying normal favourite copperplate.
Thank you this was a really helpful book review.
It is really nice when art supplies come in sturdy reusable boxes. Years ago I bought a kaweco calligraphy set in a big tin box, and am using it for variety of pens and pencils till this day.
I finally got the book this month!
Well done dude the best money spent if you want to learn copperplate, if you are going to make the template in the book then take your time making it. I tried to cut corners and do my version but they were wrong, so doing her template took an hour to do. Good luck 🤞 and I hope you fall in love with CP like I have.
Hi, William, Happy New Year! I love runes...I'm planning to treat me to a set. They look like a secret code😊Loving your videos-keep them coming!
Thank you for showing this. It was very interesting. Much of technology is a foreign language to me, but it’s cool to see the possibilities!
I really enjoyed this. I would love to see how you manipulate it and what you do with it after you scan it.
Luckily I’m awake to respond, yep challenge accepted I will film it soon and upload my endeavour. I hope to create several art works from it and create website banners to boot, maybe even print media like business cards and posters. Look out for it coming soon.
nice
The present was given and she loved it and also it’s hanging up on the wall. A success at last.
I really cannot for the life of me see the point of this tool. The holes have a diameter of, what looks like, 1.5-2mm, so there's going to be some margins. You have to have a metal table, or blue tack. Do they even make that anymore? I'll have to go to the book store to find some archaic sticky dough I haven't seen used since middle school back in the late 90s. The tool is pretty expensive and seems very flimsy. With a regular compass, I can put the center needle almost precisely on a point or a line, but with this I have to look into a hole, and try to center it, and if it moves slightly it's off. This also onlu has discrete steps, and cannot be adjusted to any radius. And the ONLY advantage of this, is that it doesn't leave a microscopic hole in the paper. Excuse my French, but this seems like a really stupid invention.
I agree in most part in what you say buddy but I would look at this tool as a artistic device to create stunning art. As for a tool for precision then it’s no good. For a tenner it’s not bad to create circular objects and use them for art purposes. Thanks for commenting and watching the vid.
@@williambanks8914 And what type of stunning art would you say this provides? It looks "cool", I'll give you that, but apart from that?
I’ll do a picture myself and upload a video using the tool. Look out for it over Christmas 🎄
I want one but can't find it anywhere on Amazon
