[Kamil981000]

Beautyfull.

[Did007z]

[tyroney2]

Beautiful to watch, though the music made me a tad bit suicidal.

[sujetosupuesto]

IT IS AMAZING, SUBLIME...

[Xoerica98ox1427]

Well heres the thing...1. I dont have patience. 2. I'm too lazy.

[HumaneAnon]

I just want to rub all that ink all over the place and pay you thousands of dollars ^_^

[NaglfarRecords]

[TollerPianist]

[felixcruzazul]

[TUBESTEAKNIG]

[musicrox127]

For my next act, i shall make the dislike bar disappear!!!!

[Aleczan]

I would have smudged the ink since before 1:00

Excellence penmanship. Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate this amazing art.

[aihentaigirl]

It must be a bitch to write letters in that font I don't think I'd have the patience but this is so frggin awesome !! :D

[PotentiaLeaena]

Absolutely stunning. I have to say I'm quite jealous, in the best of ways.

[Pealanor]

I bet people LOVE your christmas cards!

[TTHOROUGH]

Beautiful,Ive gotta try that. Ive only written Calligraphy with a dip pen.

[debloveshollywood]

Wow. I feel like i could watch you do this for hours!

[Turman314]

By any chance could you tell me where you get or if you make the guideline paper?

[reidautumn]

And They Said Nothing In Life Is Perfect .

[HumaneAnon]

Write a one page paper like this = 7 minutes x ~300 words = 2100 minutes = 35 hours lol

[GiseleArtStudio]

OMG this is stunningly beautiful....and relaxing

[walteredstates]

Blow me down: I got the same nib-holder with marbled design! ....and a whole tin full of old nibs from my dear grand-uncle Josef. A sign ! A sign! [...runs off starting to dig it all out to get scratching...]

And btw: Veeery Noice work, mate.

[EeveelutionTeam]

AMAZING! nice hand writtin u got there haha

[greenfan888]

that is so pretty omg

[CosmicComatose]

In the future, calligraphists won't need to rely on drawn lines when using contact lenses that use integrated displays and sensors that will locate points on the paper and provide a digital overlay of lines, saving many troubles.

[therealTOTOfan]

imagine you had to owrite a 1000 word essay like this.. LOL!

[AhmadxTG]

good to see ma talented afghan people X)

[TheSeipOne]

it's so sad with this music ;)

[jwkeckley]

Is there anywhere to purchase this nib now?



[encantadiafanatic1]

Essay due tomorrow: 1 word done, 999 more words to go.

[solittleusernames]

now I know this type of pen is not at all for working (unless you're a calligrapher) but I really want to use a pen like this when writing an essay...I just want to see everyone cringe while I writing

[suzushirou]

@GizzMoLand We're watching a video of a guy doing calligraphy for almost eight minutes; I'd be doing us both a disservice if I didn't grammar Nazi it up a little. :D

[CantBeTamed19]

Am I weird that I just love watching this? LOL

[suzushirou]

@GizzMoLand I'm pretty sure that's an initialism, not 'one word'.

[naveenk2514]

whch pen is this a simple marker or pen plz reply ??

[hamidrezaebrahimi]

@naveenk2514

It is a Brause nib No. 86

[STARskyfox777]

@hamidrezaebrahimi you're amazing. !

[SparkySai66]

@hamidrezaebrahimi can you tell me where to find it because i can't seem to find it anywhere

[samuelsanchez2010]

@hamidrezaebrahimi where can i buy this pen

[hamidrezaebrahimi]

Hello, I would like to let you know that my Copperplate book is ready for sale all over the world.It is worth mentioning that the English section of the book and all the illustrations have been entirely produced by hand. Contact me please : h_r_ebrahimi@yahoo.com

[SlowMotionAirsoft]

@hamidrezaebrahimi Where can I buy your book?

[lkc9394]

how can I learn to be as pro as you? thanks for sharing!

[4rbiter625625]

Wow, takes 7:25 minutes to write 'Flourishing'. As much as I want to write like this in my tests I think I would only get to write my name. (It's also double barreled so it would take a while XD)

[4rbiter625625]

That's so beautiful...

[crazyteet262]

music makes me think of Minecraft... ahhh... relaxing....

[karismydog]

no more ink left FUUUUU

[Emilylovesbeauty1]

Really pretty but I could never do that

[yellowmustang71]

[wizardlizardblizzard]

[SBulletproof]

Seven minutes to write one word, now that's progress!

[phrenzy1]

What pen is this? I really want to know at leas what the nib is

[peacepuppy91]

Where did you get that pen!!!

[NoVAPunkLover]

the Declaration of Independence must have taken a long time to right.

[DrCoconut7]

I can only imagine how mad you must be when mispelling words

[Robscrob1]

@DrCoconut7 Or maybe he just googles them if he's unsure, like a normal person.

[missingkey]

@DrCoconut7 It's ironic how you misspelled "misspelling". xD

[kssork]

beautiful. but.. why would i need to write in copper plate?

[yellowmustang71]

@kssork you answered your own question. you may want to write in copper plate because its beautiful :)

[hoipiepeloiification]

It takes a long time when you want to write a letter like this hahaha.

[majoxt]

Marry me *.*

[pendla10]

You should do graffiti ;)

[maxello]

Hey! I wonder If it´s possible to contact you so you can help me out with a thing? Would like to have the name of my daughter om my chest. We have had really long medical history and It would mean the hole world to me if you could help me with the writting so I can do a tattoo of it?

Her name is Vanessa an she is five and is born with a heartfailure. We have 1-2 years till next surgery so this would mean the world to me.

Please write back to me,

Regards Marcelo B

Mail: maxello@hotmail.com

[urbanlypure]

@maxello you should check out Boog Star, he specialises in this sort of writing, or at all tattoo parlours, they should have a book of boog style lettering which they can use as a stencil to do the words you want written. hope I've helped.

[cobrakoi1]

@maxello most tattoo artist's would reproduce this style of writing fairly easily in front of u wen u go get ur tattoo done, no need to pay 2 people for the same job ;¬)

[MizzisRyuzaki]

@maxello Sir, I respect you. The way you used the phrase "It would mean the whole world to me" really touched my heart.

Good luck on the surgery, and may god bless your daughter.

- 14 Years Old Girl

[GTpilotRacer]

Trying to replicate this is really hard, i got the nib he is using and it still just dumps all the ink as soon as put pressure on it, just beginning tho, have never taken any courses, if anybody knows any tips how to avoid this feel free to leave some !

[ilovegammagal]

WOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! THAT ROCKS!!! ID LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT!!!!!

[jhiller21]

I'm the guy who walks by after he's done and rubs another piece of paper across it.

[LenientProcess]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[toughcrowd94]

That is beautiful!

[luna31415]

Can you PLEASE tell me where to get the supplies for that?! :D

[TheWarhammerMan]

[Nellie247sam]

This is so amazing, i must try this when i start learning Calligraphy

[00Helllo]

Hey, QUICK TIP: Skip to the end!!!!!!!!!!!

[IALON]

RIP Steve Jobs

[klaarover123456789]

It sucks so bad that I'm a leftie.

[ilovegammagal]

[thunder33ism]

[IsabellKitten]

At @3:57 i thought he was just going to write Flour and then i thought he was going to write eggs or something cuz i thought it would be an EPIC GROCERY LIST!!!

[Denmad92]

wooooooooow!



[GTpilotRacer]

hey hamid, what kind of pen are you using ?

[hkstrongside]

Very nice work!

[Wendebird]

Omg I am so amazed

[billy16801]

Anyone else think that the sound of the pen scratching the paper is relaxing, or am I just weird?

[Carcinogenic2]

@billy16801 No, along with such beautiful music he chose to listen while writing, it must be really relaxing.

Thanks Hamid, for showing us and help keep this so beautiful form of art alive, awe inspiring!

By the way could you, Hamid, tell us what compositions you were listening to?

[FloufleVii]

@billy16801 I used to listen to people drawing by putting my head on the table in elementary school.

[Skoal36]

@billy16801 i like the sound of packaging plastic wrap and crumpled paper its relaxzing as well=)

[XenOfOrrinoco]

FLIP ME!!

[transformaconband]

at 48:33 he writes a whole sentence

[transformaconband]

@cameraman4brainiac haha it's funny how easily people get offended. Yes I understand art takes time, actually I go to an art school and my major is visual art. Just because I crack a joke doesn't mean I don't understand.

[BillyTheMilkMan]

@transformaconband I thought the joke was quite...enjoiable. Yes, verry funny, indeed.

[transformaconband]

@BillyTheMilkMan Thank you for understanding and having a sense of humor

[BillyTheMilkMan]

@transformaconband Any day.

[breeonahaguilar7]

my printer ain't got nothin' on you!

[sopitabo]

Absolutely beautiful,in my opinion Copperplate is the hardest to master by far,much harder than Italic,Gothic,etc,getting the right pressure on the up and down stroke,and then the flourishes,"hamidrezaebrahimi"­you are inspiring brother.

[appslute]

All songs by YANNI

[dmjita]

[husky7876]

[NaYarB04]

T_T the beauty

[DanielGClapp]

[Jasmine2111999]

Where do you get your pens and ink?

[Jasmine2111999]

Where did you get the ink and the pens?

[Jasmine2111999]

Where did you get the ink and the pen?

[DrunkenCellist]

Beautiful!!

[firebug0001]

for the idiots waiting for him to reply about the nib, watch the entire video again and pay attention to the last 5 seconds.

[yourmaam11]

BEAUTIFUL!! What a gift you have. It was so nice to see "Writing" become a "Work of Art".

[LLAW019]

I, too, would like to know what nib are you using, amazing flexibility and line variation! That is at least from XF to 5mm or more in width?! And the amount of ink it holds (without a reservoir) is incredible!

[HEADBANGBALLER]

I would have ink all over me, the paper, and the pen. Cool when it stops flowing ink and two thin lines appear on either side. Master of steady.

[AllieKate17]

WOW. I can't believe it's possible to have such a steady hand. I wish I could do that!!!

[starlionblue]

@AllieKate17 I really wish I had steady hands but if I tried to do that, the whole thing would look like it was written by a drunk ghost! My cursive writing is always a bit squiggly on every fifth or sixth letter.

[borlavlad]

damn...

[condilavia]

what if i am left-handed?

[finkployd4658]

Please could you tell me what nib you are using in this video?

Thank you,

Finkployd4658.

[putyerpawsup]

i wish i had a fancy pen !

[Art98lh]

Amazing! Well done!

[cry2love]

YOU KNOW WHAT!? OH MY DEAR GOD!! AAAA!!!

[pniksch]

[thecapone45]

[vegakevin05]

[hooriahoor06]

[ludacrisluv1]

How long does it take all that to dry?

[SouthEastTattoo]

[skatehard1000]

[batmanisog]

[Shookiepoo]

[Raenoleah1014]

[IamDeath2288]

Extremely beautiful. Must say well done.

[Offshoreorganbuilder]

Amazing.

[mikethenascarfan]

can you write my essay for me? only 1,500 words...

[lilboyblue01]

OMG I can finally write cursive so pretty :)))))))) im so happy

[pinoybreaker23]

I have been practicing how to write calligraphy using pencil and pen for 2years... But when I write at school, I don't write in cursive, I write in print...

[HHSbass4]

@pinoybreaker23 I write in print as well. I like writing in some of the print-style calligraphies.

[MsMarion61]

very nice!!

[Comp1337e]

I can't believe I had the patience to sit and watch through at that. But man, the results were beautiful! Good work, sir!

[bluejade247]

I Love This!!!!!

[OurGr8God]

Absolutely Beautiful!!

[VolcomROCK21]

it took him 7:25 to write one word..jus imagine how long it took to write the declaration of independence

[ibonayir47]

7 minutes and 25 seconds full of entertaiming!

[Hex3d]

This Makes Me CLAUSTROPHOBIC ; besides that .. beautiful .

[fere243]

OMG!!!

[SPOOKY276]

U GUD AT THIS...I SAY U SHOULD BE A TATTO ARTIST

[estefstef]

I never thought I could stare to somebody writing for 7 minutes and feel amazed!

[Beemerboy324]

It's easy! All you have to do is practice every day for about 9 years!

[gtrscarlet]

What sort of paper do you use for practice? Whenever I have tried a Copperplate style with a split nib like this, the sharp nib points catch on fibers in the paper, particularly on the upstrokes with disastrous results. Very frustrating. 

[TheDNAlexander]

amazing. Best ever writing ever!

[XxRavynRampagexX]

never before have I gotten a job to buy a pen.

ICH MUSS ES KAUFEN!!!

[dingopixtars]

wowww
