  • Greetings, Scribblers; welcome back to Scribe Life!
    At long last, I bring to you an introduction to the Blackletter or 'Gothic' hand.
    In this video I'll give a quick overview of the history of the hand, a peek at the full alphabet and then get into the first set of letters for you to learn; the 'Closed' letters.

    I've watched several hundred videos on black letter and yours is by far the best as far as going into detail about how it's done. great video.

    After my love affair with uncial, I have given in and decided it is time to learn blackletter. This video had been a great help. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    Good going, thanks for clear separation of letter groups. A real help, especially when combined with practical demos. of each letter. Each description done at a pace easy to follow especially for people learning the " architecture " of each letter. Thank you. You are the professor extraordinaire of Blackletter.

    I'm going to have to add you to my ASMR Playlist. I do want to learn Blackletter enough to do it without a guide, you are probably not ideal. I don't want to go to sleep while trying to learn it.

    How do I create your template practice sheet you are writing on?

    • @ScribeLife
      @ScribeLife  8 років тому +5

      The best way to do it is to;
      1. rule out those vertical lines first in increments of about 5mm
      2. measure about 1cm from the top of your page and draw a horizontal line.
      3. using whichever sized nib you are using, hold the nib vertically and draw those three alternating square shapes you see on the left hand side. when the ink dries, measure that distance and draw the second horizontal line that distance below the first line.
      4.doing the same thing with the nib as last time except measuring out about 5 nib-widths, mark out and rule the second line to form the x-height
      4. repeat step 3 to create
      the descender line
      6. repeat that process for as many full sets of lines as you can fit on the page.
      I tend to just draw one 'master copy' then photocopy it so that every practise sheet is the same =)
