+MikeyP93 Thanks! I did this video a bit ago, so I have to admit I'm not quite satisfied with every letter. For instance, the swash on the descender on "r" is quite unorthodox, I'd say it's my mistake. Be sure to compare sources and look for sources more reliable than my video. Good luck! :D
Oh really? It looked like a parallel pen to me! It is so fluid the way you do it and with no ink dripping! So flawless... ^^ When I use it all ink drips on paper... :(
That's one reason I rarely use Parallel. It requires good paper :D Ordinary nibs are much easier to use, you just need to remember to remove excess ink by sliding the nib against the container edge. That something you can't really do with a Parallel pen :D Though... well I recall writing with the Parallel by dipping it in random inks, and then I removed the excess just the same way. But I guess my Parallel got rusty from not using for months - now I have the opposite problem, it dries out after few strokes (when dipped, I don't have any more Parallel ink cartridges to test it and I don't think I will:).
Learning calligraphy and starting with natural uncials. This was great to watch and learn alternates for letters. Thanks!

Totally absorbing to watch. Thank you.
THANK YOU for this video!
Thank you! So beautiful! What pen are you using? So beautiful to see!
Thank you! It's an ordinary 2.5 mm nib from an art store. Leonardt, I think. :)

Wonderful! Have you ever made this into a font?
No... good idea though!
Drugie "g" to wydaje mi się, że najwcześniej w półuncjale lub minuskule karolińskiej? Specjalistą nie jestem.
Tak, drugie /g z półuncjały insularnej. W karolinie raczej /g z dwoma oczkami. Ale też do speców nie należę :)
