Speedball Textbook 23Rd Edition Programs Pro Ductus On

Sorry for that. So, is there some pro ductus on Roman capitals Ive been looking for couple of days and many of them dont even include the size of the letters.

Also, sometimes it feels like the letters are made with changing the brush angle to get thicker strokes, is that correct So, is there a good ductus on Romans besides the one in Art of Calligraphy And also, should I have guidelines not only for the baseline and height, but also maybe for the width and angles It seems incredibly difficult.

Years ago, I heard an experienced calligrapher say that one should study Romans every few years and you will discover something new each time.

I have studied it formally, as in courses and workshops at least 5 times in the last 15 years.

Both 22nd and 23rd Edition of The Speedball Textbook have the ductus by Sheila also the accepted proportions of the Script.

Although I have studied Tom Perkins book, I find it too mathematical for calligraphy however, invaluable for stone carvers where they can layout the grid on the stone.

Romans are 10 widths high and vary on the width, but how much This is a misconception.

Romans can be any height, because what is important is the O fills a square.

So as long as you work on that circle in a square you will have the correct ratio.

From the square, all the widths fall out, for example the O and Q fill the square, C,D and G are considered 78 letters etc.

I do acknowledge that some widths are taught slightly different by some instructors meaning some group O,Q,C,G and D in a combined round group.

Also, sometimes it feels like the letters are made with changing the brush angle to get thicker strokes, is that correct Yes, brush and pen lettering both have the angle changing constantly.

The technique is slightly different as in brush lettering the brush follows the hand slightly different.

In broad edge, it is generally referred to as pen manipulation.

The pen angle can either give you a thicker or thinner stroke depending on what you want.

Once comfortable with ductus, learn without all those lines so the heightwidth ratio becomes natural.

Every now and then, check it with a ruler and if no problems keep going.

Once you learn the classical Romans, then you have a script that has lasted well over 2000 years and has adapted to be the Caps for all subsequent scripts.

A good practice is to do a textblock like the first two sections.
