Script in the Copperplate Style: 'Fish Hook' Capital Letters

*The is a re-edited version of a previously uploaded clip.

In this video clip I will demonstrate the 'Fish Hook' form of capital letters that I use in conjunction with lowercase Needle Stitch Script letters. While not all the caps can be modified, this clip demonstrates the basic guidelines. Please refer to my instructional articles available without cost on the IAMPETH lessons page at:

Wet sponge????

Hi,

It helps clean the tip of the pen point when the ink dries and no longer flows. Touching the tip to the sponge makes the ink flow again.

Dr. Vitolo, thank you for putting all of these videos on youtube. They have helped me incredibly, granted i'm not nearly as good as you or anyone else I've seen that's with IAMPETH but your instruction has helped me greatly and i appreciate it

That little trick to add extra ink is pretty cool
