    Very informative, new to calligraphy and wanted to know about different nibs. Thanks
  • Thank you very much for this video! It's really interesting to see a written example for each nib, not only a description!

    I agree all G nibs are best for beginners, but if you are fearless and can afford a bunch of Hunt 101 and Leonardt ef Principal nibs you will learn from the get-go to be delicate from the beginning. Every person is different when they learn a new skill. It all has to do with how you hold the pen, how much pressure you use, and in which angle you are holding your pen when you write, and if you are very observant and conscious of how it should be done you will progress much faster. I am not a fan of writing the same letter 100 times. I believe it is more important how to learn to pair up the letters and try and use it in a text you like. If it is modern calligraphy or copperplate/Spencerian/Engrosser script you will learn it is important to pair up the new letterforms from the beginning...that will save you time. And as professional Calligraphers say, Dance with the pen don't force it.
  • Hi dear amazing video ❤️ could I please ask you if Nikko G will be okay on normal papers ? I have spend a lot of money on smooth papers while I am practicing and I feel if I can get a nib which is fine on normal printing papers I can save up bit of money .. currently I use hunt 101 .
  • I am somewhat new to calligraphy and I was wondering what kind, or brand, of oblique pen holder you would recommend...? Thanks for the video!
