And a final observation: It bugs me that you would call the masters of our craft "asshole calligraphers that find a need to add so many loops that it is almost illegible." Do you know what offhand flourishing is? They're called flourishes, not "loops" - and they're by far the hardest technique to master. Flourishes (especially in pointed pen work) are used as a demonstration of technical virtuosity, alongside being beautiful by nature.
As for Watery's comment; there IS good and bad calligraphy in this world, just as any art has its masters and novices. Any shmuck can collect like that - owning pens does not a calligrapher make. It's pretty apparent that Watery hasn't studied calligraphy himself - the speed of this guy's strokes and his lack of disclipline (he doesn't even use guidelines -.-) don't just *impair* his work; it makes his lettering look atrocious. Did you see his broad-edge work? Looks like a five-year old did it.
Brussells is absolutely right. This man has not spent the time to learn correct technique; it takes a hell of a lot of time to develop the steadiness of hand and eye for good lettering - even after the four years I've spent studying historical letterforms and practicing regularly, I still feel as though I've only achieved a mediocre level of skill.
with that many writing tools, it's hard to say he hasn't spent time on it... he sped up on strokes which is OK if it doesn't impair the work. i'm just annoyed that he advertised >.< other than that, shame on the bastards for calling the writing scrawl, i could just as easily show the penance towards the asshole calligraphers that find a need to add so many loops that it is almost illegible.
A REAL CALLIGRAPHER DOESN'T DIS ANY FORM OF ARTWORK
@WateryIce54321 Please, think about what you're saying. We have every right to "dis" bad lettering - without critics, the world would turn into a place like the comments section of Youtube - a place where everyone is an expert on everything. Read up a bit before spewing groundless philosophy next time, okay?
Anyone can do it, it just takes time, effort, patience, attention, and will power. Discipline. I wouldn't bash him so bad if he wasn't so arrogant acting about his low level skill, and if it weren't for the fact that he was charging for it. It seems he is more interested in making money than getting very good. His opening statement was about the business side of it for crying out loud.
Go study the fundamentals, and force yourself to go slow. Don't speed up when you think you have gotten it, Or after writing it down a few times. It's hard, because it is how our brain works, but you have to slow down to get good. Critique your work and post on forums asking for friendly critiques and advice. Jus t please don't end up like this, because it is a perfect example of what not to do and how not to do it.
@Brussells44 if you could tell me pleas, what would the best posture for calligraphy would be ? And pardon me if you might find some grammatical errors in my sentence.
He has spent years reinforcing bad form, bad posture, and bad position, making it habitual, and extremely hard to correct. You can tell he didn't put the time or effort into studying the basics and fundamentals, an d it shows. You can tell simply by his speed; there is some inherent belief most people have that the better you get, the faster you go. Far from the truth. The true masters of penmanship work rather slowly, intent on their fo
Calligraphy, because there you will see what real beauty and grace in the art of lettering and script work looks like. This is just.......awful. Go look at Del Tysdal, Mike Sull, Bill Lilly, etc.
This, everyone, is what anyone who spends more than a month in the world of calligraphy calls a fake. This guy sits there acting and talking like a master of calligraphy, and his skills look like mine the first week I started doing calligraphy. They may look cool to those not skilled in the art, but people PLEASE go look at videos from REAL call gr
