Working overseas for five month and bored....., by ben3486 on Feb 13, 2015 17:37:08 GMT 1, I figured I should do something constructive with my free time as theres nothing to do other than the gym, and I can only hack that place for an hour. Fancying maybe learning Calligraphy, and figured who better to turn to for advice than the forum on where to learn this. Looking at online reading and tutorials. If anyones got an links or advice then I look forward to your replies.

Working overseas for five month and bored....., by .dappy on Feb 13, 2015 18:30:56 GMT 1, ... first get yourself some proper ink caligraphy pens with a choice of nibs. +check if they are left (harder to get hold of) or right handed. Partly depends on whether you way to do copper plate - thin scroll line stuff (technical term  ) or the swoushy medieval (another technical term) type stuff.
I learnt for about 6/9 months when I was in my mid teens, mainly to improve my handwriting, as it is interesting to know how letters are actually formed.

Working overseas for five month and bored....., by ben3486 on Feb 13, 2015 18:43:51 GMT 1, I just fancy learning the basics and then maybe get onto adding some of the more arty farty swirls (technical term). Get the basics down and then I would love to start with more line work coming off the letters. a bit like the Seb Lester prints on POW at the minute.... but obviously not that intricate. Just something to pass the time and I think Id get a sense of achievement for my time put in, rather than just mindlessly watching TV series like suits and the walking dead haha.

Working overseas for five month and bored....., by fattyramone on Feb 14, 2015 16:35:54 GMT 1, What about Hot Poker pyrography...it's very therapeutic and quite easy to get a basic grasp on...becoming good at it however takes time and practice.
Even if you can't draw you could just trace the image onto a suitable piece of wood or leather, I've got a nice set up for about ยฃ60 ...that gives you lots of different sized nibs as well as lots of different shapes (half moons /asterisked /stars etc ...to add borders to
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrography
you can learn calligraphy AND use it on a more interesting medium ....this is set up I bought ..highly recomended for a beginner , German made , solid point.

Hand written calligraphy for VIP invitations too.
It depends which country you are in.
I know that a steady hand is needed so no coffee and some sign writers and pinstripers like a beer or two, to relax a bit before doing the lettering or striping.

Take up Tai chi, yoga or learn to meditate or better still all 3 or if you prefer something a little more combatant learn Judo or if you are more disciplined Aikido or Kendo. All of these will help in so many ways you would not believe or you could just suck piss and do lots of drugs.

Or calligraphy, that's cool too. People will start asking you to write all their wedding invitations after this so that will give you something else to do
For a real challenge with lots of time to kill, try traditional silhouette animation a la lotte reiniger. Not many people will be doing that and it is awesome
