Guest --zeSto-- Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 http://www.alphabytes.com/calligraphy/images/calligraphy.gif'> I think that we share quite a bit of common ground with the calligraphers and typesetters out there. The chisel tip marker that we know so well is really the tool of penmanship. I dedicate this thread to the roots of the handstyle. http://www.passionfruit.com/calligraphy.GIF'> http://www.isei.or.jp/Paper_Museum/images/calligraphy.jpg'> http://www.metimes.com/issue99-46/metpix/calligraphy.gif'> http://www.rand.org/contact/personal/calligraphy/illum.gif'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SilpherGirl Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 i've been learning chinese calligraphy almost all my life~ it's essential for students in asia to know how to do calligraphy. mostly in japan and china. they teach them in class once ur in elementary school all the way up to high school. it's pretty neat if ur into this kinda thing.. but gets kinda boring afterwards... like after doing 7-8 years of it..
