And what a great choice of a calligrapher! We have so much to learn just from the "old masters" examining their form and rhythm.

"Les courbes ne sont pas nettes !" qu'il dit ! Je ne sais pas avec quoi vous faites ces traits (pinceau ou grosse plume ?) mais un lΓ©ger tremblement est inΓ©vitable chez tout Γͺtre humain, non ?
Ceci dit, c'est magnifique, et Γ dΓ©faut de ces "courbes pas nettes" on peut admirer la composition !

It says: "O Mensch bedenke das Ende, so wirst du nimmermehr Γbles tun."
Translated it would be something like "Oh human remember the end so you will never do something evil again"

very well done! the black is particularly refined and comfortable. the red feels shaky, but honestly, it's still beautiful to behold. Keep it up!

I don't took the time to put a second layer of red, the eraser attack it a little.
I never take enought time to do a really clean work. :-p

Woah, this is really awesome, you did a really great job o___o
And I hate myself for not being able to read this, I'm German and I at least have read a book about the old calligraphy and still I was not able to read this xD
But yes, very well done

Most of time, I don't understand all the text I'm writing, I do it just for the beauty of the letters.

But it sure must be fun while you do so, right?
At least I can see that you are very good with that x3

^^ Yes, it's amazing enough to just look at. I wouldn't even have the patience to try to make this, so I find it especially amazing.

Just out of curiosity what type of pen tip are you using or are you going with a brush?
Absolutely stunning work and I love how the black fades in and out.
