My Gothic Alphabet

Haha, at this rate, all you'll need to master is offhand flourishing and border-making if you want to get into the business of making certificates from scratch. Now that would be a great way to kill time

 

Cheers!

Thank you Kevin

Now I exactly learning what you say border-making.

I self-learn so I find some doc from the interner, I think it's useful for me.

I am Flabergasted! Your style of writing is amazing! In my dreams I do not even come close to your mistakes.

 

How long does it take to write a page like that?

[flummoxed]

Brilliant! Especially, the variation with all the styles and the fluidity!

Dear Zaphod_Beeblebrox: I just know and learn to write at about 1,5 year only. I begin from Business cursive - Italic - Roman - Gothic - Fraktur - Dip-pen. All the document I load from the internet ( all is free ).

I practice at about 1 hour a day, I want to prove one thing: I'm a normal person from Vietnam, I can do it, and I think you can do it and we can do it, because I can prove it

I learn from other people's ideal:

I've been trying since I was about 12 to learn calligraphy... I'm now 33, and I'm finally getting to the point where I'm producing almost consistent results! The last year has seen my most concerted effort, and I joined a course last Summer.

 

My fine motor-skills are impaired as I'm Dyspraxic, so I wasn't sure I'd get full control of pen & ink, but it's getting there.

 

Ongnon, your work is beautiful! I envy your skill - clearly you have put a lot of effort in, but you also have a natural skill & inclination toward fine work. I look forward to seeing your future lettering.

Thank you Inkysloth.

I'm at the same age as you, but handwritting and draw skills is still at the beginning.

I see you printmaking blog, I know I 'll never can do the things as you do now. Admired your work.

You are an artist. I'm not an artist, not a penman. In Calligraphy, I just at the beginning, I'm just a learner.

Thank you for sharing your work with us. Your work inspired me

If you have new ideals, please share it with me, I think I can learn a lot from you
