calligraphy

Testing new set of colors - a bit smeared, and as you can see I'm not very confident in faux calligraphy:

Practicing with a calligraphy dip pen. Watercolor and burnt umber ink.

Picasso + calligraphy flourishes + Marie Antoinette = whatever is happening here, I think.

Hello again, Gale. I've mailed a photograph of the window with this letter. I hope both reach you safely on Par Tritus. Eclipse City thrives, contrary to Luncara's beliefs. Tell James that I've missed her. But the Jagged sets and my light is spread thin, so I must conclude this letter. Best wishes to you, James, and the king. Sincerely, Cyrus

Black and white, sketchbook drawing (doodle) currently in progress. (More calligraphy than drawing.)

A work inspired by the great sounds of "Heavy Heavy". A mix of calligraphy, cartography, surrealism, typography, illumination and gilding.

A LOGO design of the word "Mostafa" written in Arabic Calligraphy using Al Kufi writing style. The design is made via Adobe illustrator initialy to be printed as a laptop sticker.

The Kufi writing style is one of the most charming and strongest styles in Arabic Calligraphy. It is used here to illustrate the word "Allah" with some additional curves to maintain and clarify the beauty of this word. Besides some Islamic drawings which surround the word "Allah". This illustration firstly was made on paper with a pencil, then I converted it to digital art using Adobe Illustrator.

This time I designed a logo using a special style of Arabic calligraphy called "Al-Diwani". This style is distinguished by its flexibility and beauty. Besides its capability to represent and any shape that I want using any words; so I can illustrate and draw anything using this style.

First experiment using a pair of Japanese calligraphy pens that I recently got. Finished off with a charcoal pencil.

Calligraphy

The idea is to show a figure crossing over two ` scripts’ with a bilingual suggestion. By standing in between worlds, we see opposing viewpoints. Many artists have incorporated typography as symbols in their paintings since the 60s, but no one has attempted to approach lines in this `written’ manner. How different it is are the two writing styles of the East and the West; one with angular lines while the other in a smooth flow! This work juxtaposes the symbolism of cultures – script. At the same time, it questions the need to grasp the full meaning of the script to appreciate the aesthetic flow of calligraphic lines.

It’s like the first «stand-alone” work (meaning not as a part of the lettering course). Btw I haven’t made it to the faux calligraphy lesson yet being stuck with the serifs. Used the tracing paper on top of the initial sketch. P. S. As for the shovels: in Russia we have long holidays at the beginning of May and that’s when the whole gardening thing starts
