How To Hold A Straight Pen For Copperplate

[gaijin94]

Hi all,

 

I can't seem to find a downloadable version of 'The Art of Writing' at IAMPETH. Can anyone help me with this? Or even another pdf version somewhere else. I have seen an online version but I am trying to find a pdf copy that I can read offline.

Thank you in kind advance.

Hi there Westlothian,

Thank you for your wonderful link above.

Unfortunately, I was only able to peruse the pages online and was unable to figure out how to download the entire file

as a single file. I was only able to download the pages one at a time.

Nevertheless, I converted all the online pages into a single 5Mb pdf file, that I can print out as well read as a normal pdf

offline.

 

Thanks all to your link.

Many thanks!

I downloaded all as gif files and I browse through them in a folder 2.73 MB

You are welcome!

As I understand this grip is only to be used for Copperplate/Longhand?

 

I tried a bit of Palmer with this grip, and it seems to help with the ascenders and descenders, they're perfectly straight. The detriment is speed, it's slower to write using this method.
