I finally picked up a pen last week after a longer break – I want to work a bit more on my “Modern Kurrent script”, which is an adaption of an historical gothic cursive (that was used over hundreds of years in the German speaking world). I have no intent on perfect historical accuracy – I just want it to look aesthetically pleasing and be more readable than the scripts from the 19th century and earlier. In the video, I start with some oval, loop and spiral drills (need those for the majuscules) and then continue with the basic strokes for the minuscules with the typical zigzag lines. Months ago, I posted some earlier examples too … My other goal here, as you can guess, is writing without guidelines. Kurrent was a true everyday cursive and often written pretty casually. Also, it’s much easier to write without guidelines with a non-slanting script, so I started with that one instead of Copperplate! You can see on the example that I have trouble keeping my lines horizontal – they keep going up on the right side. – Would you be interested in seeing more of this script? I personally find it rather interesting, but it’s hard to tell how you guys see it 😁... :: #calligraphy #kalligraphie #kalligrafie #caligrafia #calligraphie #pointedpen #spitzfeder #kurrent #kurrentscript #kurrentschrift #cursive #kursive #handwriting #handschrift #gothiccursive #gouache #schminckegouache #archesart #flourishforum #federflugcalligraphy https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wWun6qJv2/?igshid=1wvio4v3aucse
