[b0771ch3l11]

[prestolonaslednikk]

Nothing special!

[fresno00]

This video sucked! Im sry but...

[TheMcconnel]

maybe he should take his own advise and pick a calligraphy book up...

[TheSadriast]

so erm....he just drew...he explained nothing other than 'you put a thinner line next to it and 2 connecting lines'...yeah...

[instereovideos]

I don't want to insult the guy just for not being very good at calligraphy... terrible even... it's just that he's making an instructional video. Never do that unless you can actually DO what you're trying to show others. This just blows and wastes the time of people who are interested in learning something.

give me my 2 mins of life back, i learned nothing of value about how to write old english letters

[bloog510]

Why couldn't you just do a close up of you actually doing calligraphy like all of the other videos?

[skip8619]

This is actually Early Modern English caligraphy.

[soapyzombies]

[StyLeZxXoM]

[fopsx]

Not what I would call great...

[SKYLINEJOULES77]

[cilikrphiyS]

nice..

[imgoof]

fuck you

[santa408clara]

that sucked

[magikano101]

i bet deathnote fans came to watch this i know i did

[strikefreedomsd]

Dude u mean the manga/anime? I love deathnote. lol

But, I came for chinese calligraphy, not english calligraphy. xD

The death note calligraphy in the Instructions pages of the Death Note are a different font, I think. U would have to ask the mangaka/artists of the anime/manga maybe, or find something on "how to draw____" that they always have in magazines and shonen jump.

But death note has been over for awhile now, so idk if u can find a new shonen jump with death note in it anywhere.. lol.

[Saxophonist992]

LOL no wonder they left us so few books from the old times, it takes 2 minutes to write a single letter...

[goku21060]

@Saxophonist992 old english was not written like that...

[julianallees]

I appreciate how much work would of gone into that for preparation and such and understand the classical beauty of it, but in my opinion it seems rather odd looking. Seriously what was with those people back then and doing over the top decorations which look like leaves hanging off the letters; especially the letter 'C'.

Loved it though very much, thankyou!

Yours sincerely,
