I'd be down for a calligraphy thread

What are the Loomis books of calligraphy?

>>6391313
just write

>>6391299
me too, could also apply to traditional comic book lettering.

>>6391273
probably but it's mostly used for either signatures or for background sets. Trad calligraphy for sure though can fall into /ic/
If you use digital it prob be helpful to go to /gd/ if your doing logo like designs or need to learn how to adjust letters or create your own fonts or buy/get free ones.

What languages are the best for calligraphy?

only when nips do it

>>6391273
Typography is taught in every single art related program. Usually have to design your own font in traditional method with angles and serifs and everything on each giant letter in your alphabet.

>>6391273
Yes!
I've been looking for more calligrapybros on /ic/ for a while
I've just finished all blackletter charakters for the first time. Like a few minutes ago.

>>6391383
It's up to you I guess. Charakters used in English are very common, and there's a lot of fonts. Chineese and Japaneese is entierly different, but is usally still nice looking!

>>6391273
Not what we usually cover but why the hell not.

>>6391319
What should I write?

>>6391273
I've just learn chinese caligraphy for 3 days, is it count as calligraphy if amateur do it?

>>6391386
boring little shit

>>6391273
Why when printing exists? Just download/pirate custom fonts

>>6391703
why do you want to suck all the soul out of the world?

Is this the designated thread for neurotic gay men and cat moms?

>>6391712
It is now that you're here

>>6391724
Hey-O!

i hate to call myself a calligrapher because now it is mostly modern calligraphy which is done by basic women doing irregular sizes and quirky bubbly loops

>>6391710
The anon made a good metaphor for AI sirs.

>>6391544
I don't care much for learning calligraphy, but...

How the fuck do I learn to make such beautiful compositions? That first video is mesmerizingly good, are there principles about this taught anywhere?
What do I call these extra swooshy Arabic filigrees that give it all the flavor?

>>6391903
Literally just do it. Your brain associates your hand movements with good or bad looking results automatically.

>>6391924
This is how I got good at drawing, books and video tutorials are overrated. Just use your brain, eyes and hands to get good

>>6391676
copy hand written samples of ones you like and do letters over and over again. then actually use your writing for taking notes, making lists, maybe copy some texts into your hand writing that you developed.

>>6391930
Useless moon crickets, you might as well not come to /ic/ since there is no information to be exchanged here.

>>6391903
>>6391313
Check archive.org for old books. Things written between 1750 and late 1800's specially

>>6392503
do you really want the discussion on calligraphy to be centered around some random books on calligraphy like how it has been with loomis and bridgman for drawing? besides, there are multiple scripts and different purposes.
we can talk about inks, quills, brushes, dip pens, papers, which script is good for which application, experiences, selling works.

>>6393160
Yes, I want to talk about the part that matters. Materials are very low IQ talk past a basic list of what to use, you won't draw better by having a moleskin or premium Copic Markers.

>>6393211
these instructors learned by looking at existing works or more likely looked at instructions by people who looked at manuscripts, and maybe added their own touch. except the instructors have worse writing than the primitives. probably because they studied from books on forms, and printed works from after the printing press instead of manuscripts. so just study straight from manuscript examples, especially if you are learning historical script like bastarde or italic or whatever, unfiltered.
materials isn't necessarily just about writing or drawing better and can get much more complex than just a basic list. past a certain skill level or mindset about art, craft becomes very important for many artists and their fulfillment.

>Doesnt know the difference between illustrated letters and letter created by a specific type of
penmanship and nib

One yike is all I have to spare, anon.
Use it wisely. Unlike your quill.

They're called flourishings my not-caring-about-calligraphy Amigo.
I'd recommend the book Calligraphic Flourishing by Bill Hildebrandt if you're interested - it can be found via google by looking for the title +pdf.

how do pheasant, turkey, and goose quill compare?

>>6396297
Extremely based, thank you very much.

Accept this 煩悩 I drew on my whiteboard, even though it sucks.

>>6391276
s looks nothing like that, retard.
