Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand Calligraphy / New to Copperplate: Question about pen holders

« on: March 17, 2015, 08:39:35 AM »

It is a month since I started studying calligraphy. As I review my progress on copperplate, I notice that the angle of the letters are different, maybe because I use a straight holder since I have no oblique holders as of now.

I have seen a similar topic here about a video of Sir Paul Antonio writing Copperplate using a straight holder (I just cannot remember what thread it is in). I just want to ask if there are members here who also write Copperplate using a straight holder, and is it necessary that I use an oblique holder in writing Copperplate? Thanks!

Good day to all! I am a newbie here! I am starting to learn calligraphy through the net, because I cannot afford going to workshops as of now. I hope I can learn more through this forum!
