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

[TheMcconnel]

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

[metseranen0304]

waste of time...

[TheSadriast]

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

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.
