Hey you! I found you a couple years ago, online... I was in a very abusive relationship, and watching you woke up my love for calligraphy again. It gave me a purpose and hope! Long story short I have been abuse free for over a year now, and I am pursuing my dreams. I wanted to let you know that by following your heart, you're helping people with more than just calligraphy. Thank you!

Very clear, helpful instructions about oblique pens.Thank you!!

All the things I didn't know when I bought mine, thank you. Now when I do actual calligraphy instead of drawing, I'll need to change thinking/positioning, because all the things you said makes total sense in that context. I already had the regular plastic type of holder but was curious about oblique, so I bought the the plastic oblique, but it was for drawing, so I never experienced the shortfalls you mentioned for the forward positioning letter angle, I didn't know any better, so I was actually using the oblique rotated 180 degrees so that it points to the left instead of right which works well for drawing, because I'm drawing lines going away instead of towards me at about 45degrees. With the regular tip holder it was always an awkward angle with my hand or pen position in my hand like you mentioned, which was why I tried the oblique. The alignment with the (plumb-line?) was always offset, but always wondered why it didn't, and just got used to doing it that way.

I have the pink one and love using it. And yes, it's everything you say it is but always have to remember to have a wide-mouth jar to pour the ink in since an oblique is wider.

Thank you for sharing this! I'm new to caligraphy and dip pens, and had no idea why one might use an oblique vs. straight pen. This cleared it up for me.

Oh! I did not understand the different sizes of flange vs sizes of the straight nib holder. Watching you show that makes all of the difference. Thank you for the visual!

Very helpful - Thank you. You make those upper case letters look so easy.

Hello Madam Namaste from India 🙏 Simply you explained! I already subscribed. Thank you Madam

This video is awesome and so helpful! I am struggling to use the ef66. I cannot get the ink to stay in. The reservoir looks full, but the ink doesn’t make a mark on the paper. Is my ink too thin?

Thanks for the information, it’s very useful! What is the “jewellery tool” you used actually called?

I started practicing with an oblique pen just a few weeks ago...and I love it so much. I've been listening to a lot of helpful videos and I just discovered yours this morning. Thank you for all your tips and tricks that will be very useful on my journey. You have a new subscriber!!! Watching from Canada. Question: I just bought some Winsor & Newton gouache (cheaper grade) to make my own ink. I haven't used it yet. Would it be better to get the more expensive tubes?

Have you had any experience with the beautiful pens from Tom's Studio. I just got a Bloom oblique stunning

I just received my dip pen set, and I am terrible at it right now. My main problem is the oblique pen doesn't fit the opening of the ink bottle that came with the set. The pointed pen barely fits. Any tips as to where I can get some ink and what kind to get.

Here's a suggestion for you! October Ends Play Time 🤘

Which ink to use with nikko g nib ? I'm facing ink bleeding issue

What kind of ink we can use with oblique pen

Why does your ink seem to darken as it drys?

This is really frustrating bcuz everyone goes on and on about how to use these oblique nib holders, but absolutely nothing about the ink wells. I bought a nikko G oblique from you, but none of my traditional ink pots work, so I just use brush pens or paint brush, but not the calligraphy pen anymore. You don’t even show the ink pot you’re using
