This image has been circulating on Pinterest for a while, but I decided to download it because the implications of taking an "architectural" and adapting it for writing are interesting ....
Hi everyone,
I’m new to doing art commissions and was hoping to get some honest pricing advice. I made these 3 Arabic calligraphy canvases (3 Quls) and I’m trying to figure out what would be a fair price for all three together.
Most of the materials were from Dollarama, but each canvas probably took around 2–2.5 hours to complete. I’m still pretty new to this, so I’m not sure how much people usually charge for handmade pieces like this.
What would you estimate the total price for all 3 should be? Any advice on pricing commissions would really help!
as the title suggests, I want to get into thuluth, although I am not sure where to learn and to start (I dont care how hard it is, I care about accessibility)
The only thing I find online is this playlist right here https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLByKSOOEfqhJwH4G6VKbmNikrxmbefFbK&ra=m
Im not sure however if i can do this and it is correct
Another obstacle is the materials, as a sharpie isn't gonna cut it.
I found this really interesting website called Arcalliq, and they have this large set or something, but I am not sure if thats what I am looking for or if it is too much. Maybe those who have purchased stuff from there could give me advice on what to buy
Even if I find something right on that website, I dont know if it ships to North America. And even if that is done, idk how to use an inkwell and likka and manage that stuff (never even touched a qalam in my life, dont how to manage paper, etc...)
so uh, any tips?
am i supposed to put the hamzas in
this is a rough draft so feel free to give me feedback
I know the measurements are wrong and other things but in general? Is this good?
I know we ain't supposed to ask for translations on this sub, but let's see if y'all can read this one 😜
is it true that We should start with ruqaa to study calligraphy or can I Study Thulth or Naskh directly, not as a question about rules but what is the logical track to follow
Hi, I’m a native Arabic speaker/reader/writer but not an artist. I want to find an artist whom I can commission for a specific design that I intend to use for a custom art piece. Can I use this subreddit to find someone?
It says: "Ini adalah buku Saya, Saya curahkan isi hati Saya dalam buku ini. Maka tolong jaga sifat privat isi buku ini, ya." or as in English, "This is My book, I express my feelings in this book. So please, preserve the private nature of this book."
The "Sin" has three dots as I am trying to master Nastaliq that obviously shows the "Sin" and "Shin" (because it's my favourite form of calligraphy, hehe). Don't mind about the dutch writings, it's the literal translation of the text above. And the check mark is Dutch yet still in use in Indonesia.
I've been trying to make this one work, I feel like this looks better but what are your thoughts?
Reworked a few of them
That is it
I feel like I did these a lot better than their originals (i like the nahl one the best)
If I messed up big time though, pls tell me where
:)
I’ve been wanting to learn calligraphy for a long time. what are the best ways to learn, channels/ books/ people… and what do you recommend
