Uppercase Copperplate Alphabet | Mechanical Pencil

How i write the Uppercase Copperplate Alphabet. For writing i use the Rotring Tikky 0.5 Mechanical Pencil.

To achieve various line weights you need to use different pressure with the Pencil. To get thick lines press harder and to get thinner lines press lighter on the Pencil. This is the same principle as with writing with a flexible pointed nib and ink. By using a Mechanical pencil be careful what pressure you use because you can easily break the lead as I did by writing the letter X .

In the video you can see only one variant of the Uppercase Alphabet but there are many more variants for each character. You can find them online or in books.
