Copperplate, Engrosser's Script, Roundhand Calligraphy / Drawing slant lines

« on: February 14, 2023, 11:57:48 AM »

Hi Calligraphy Friends,

When I draw the slant lines on my paper they vary slightly by the time I finish. Is there a way to be accurate across the page? I use a
protractor to mark dots for the angle and a ruler to connect the dots. I have also tried marking one slant line and then using a ruler to follow each previous line then continuing across the page. Each time I get the same results- slightly off so all the lines do not have an identical slant.

Also, I am wondering how to get a copyright on individual pages.

Hello,

On lower case letters b, v, w how does the exit stroke connect to the next letter, such as bo, ve, wh? Thank you for your help.

Thank you Erica,
Your example is very helpful for identifying my problem. My connecting strokes are lower than your example shows.

I am learning engrosser's script but am struggling with the exit stroke of letters leading into upper loop letters. For example, the word, 'the'. The letter t leading into the letter h. Thank you
