1. Intro to Arabic Calligraphy (Thuluth): Hi, this is Mark from
agents and we're here to learn Arabic calligraphy. In this class, we're
going to learn seven liters using simple tools. And as usual, you don't need any calligraphy background or knowledge in the
Arabic language. To start, we're exploring different styles when we
have three styles to draw, rho and Zane, two
styles to draw wall. Also two styles for me, and we'll learn
one style for bet. And I arranged it the
lessons according to the similarities between
the different letters. What's interesting about
this group is that it consists of one style
that's pretty definite, straight line, certain angles, sharp edges and so on. Another style is more flexible, smooth lines, soft
and more curves. And a third style that makes
it a little bit of both. It's gonna be quite a contrast. So we're gonna consider it a process with different phases. The first starts with
creating the outline. You'll find me using imaginary
squares and rectangles. Then I will add several marks
inside this rectangle and I rounded to guide us through the process of
drawing the letters. Then we'll draw each
letter accordingly. The first attempt will be
like a draft of course, but then later the
editing phase, the refines all the messy lines and to correct any mistakes, make the letter look as smooth
and natural as possible. Then we'll end it
with the current. You'll find me skipping this
part just to save some time. And lastly, we're going to
create the class project. But more about this
in the next lesson.
2. Intro to Class Project of Thuluth Calligraphy: The class project. This time we'll be drawing two or three
different layers from the group of letters
we're learning today. By choosing glitters
with the similar ends or similar shapes to create it, you will need symbol
drawing tools like a pen, paper, marker, and ruler. If you're working on
a digital software, I'm not using any special tools. So you can start
simply by opening your preferred software and
start learning the letters. Then you can choose the
group you want to draw. So let's start with
the first lesson.
3. Lesson 1: Drawing Ra' (R) First Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: This is the first part of
and many other arbitrators, as you will learn, here
is how we draw it. The outline is one-two-three. All parts should be equal. Before starting, we're going to add few marks to guide us. One is by the bottom
of the third square, leaving a tiny space from
the right corner like this. Second is at the top
square near the left side. Third is around the middle of the left side of the top square. Then by the end of square two, on the right side, in the middle of three. Now it's time to
connect the dots. Straight line right here. Then a slight curve
to the bottom. The only touches
the right corner at the two marks we made before. Then another straight
line at the other side. Always check the spaces and angles of the shape right here, here and here to make sure
where you got it wrong. For the second part
of the letter, we create another 2.5 spaces on the right side and another five-and-a-half
spaces by the top side. That makes the whole
shape 6.5 to 5.5 ports. Mark the point
meeting the end of the fourth top square with the end of the
fifth right square. Another work at the point
meeting the two ends together. By the bottom side. Now from the middle
three by the side, Jolla curve and stop here. And continue with
a straight line. Then draw what
curves starting from the same spot in the middle and reach to the
end of the bottom side. If we draw a straight line from the middle to
the ending point, we should find a
space like this one. Make sure you scale the
right and then start the little triangle at
the top of the shape, reaching right to the
end of the first square. It's the jewel of the letter. This line right here
is the baseline. Okay, I'm skipping the coloring. And here is how it looks like. When you add a
diamond shape above. That's the it's as
simple as that. Next stop is drawing
the wall letter. See you.
4. Lesson 2: Drawing Waw (O) First Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: The head of the wall
looks like this. Since we already
covered the body of the row in the
previous lesson, will focus on the head. In this lesson, create
a rectangle of two equals basis wide and
two-and-a-half spaces long. The corner opposite
to the end of square root two on the
left side is important. Also the two at the
top on both sides. The mark near the end of the top-right square will
guide you drawing the curve. Other mark by the half of
the left top square and mark the end of the first
side square to guide you with the eye
shape inside the letter. Draw with your shape like
this inside the rectangle. This base left at this corner should be
smaller than this one. And the space right here
should be the smallest one. But she touches the rectangle at the space between the
two top squares here. Also makes sure there's a space at the right
side like this one. Some blame the shape
in a simpler way. We have two parts. The top part looks like this. The bottom part looks like this. And then the body of the wall looks exactly like
the body of rock. But the eye or tear shape inside isn't like
this, of course. So the ICP should start
in the middle with a semi straight line at the bottom and a
curve at the top. Director Ai shapes lightly
down by the right side, leaving wider space here
than the left side. We can also use the
top shape of rock, this one by drawing the
tear shape around it. Then delete that the two marks by the top and sought to guide you
with the eye shape. And that's the way we used
before in the previous class. Because the head of the wall
is the same head of fat. And that's it. Next top
is drawing me. See you.
5. Lesson 3: Drawing Meem (M) First Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: To draw the mean, we have eight to five rectangle marks at the end of the
first tried square and the half of the
first offer square. Of course the corners have
to be marked as well. And the half of the US
that can offer square. Actually, let's
leave a tiny space before the end of
square root two here. And then let's start
with a bracket from the bottom to the top mark. Then go down half the space. Then start from
the right middle, then head slightly
off to the left, leaving a tiny space between the line you're
drawing and the mark. You added another line from the bottom to the
left corner to meet the end of the
first tried square with the mark you added on
the upper seconds squared. Thank creates a flipped
the U-shaped that reaches to the middle of
square one like this. Again, we have two shapes. This one and that one. Another way to describe the
head of meme is a triangle surrounded by brackets with a tiny eye shape in the middle. To draw the buddy, we're back to the middle of the second operator square reaching down to the left side. Then drag the bottom line to
the point slightly before the end of the fourth square and the end of the upper
fifth squared. The point meeting the
last upper square with the middle of the fifth square
is where the body ends, but with a straight
line this time not a curvy one like the
first part of the body. Just like the Rock and Roll. Joe, the upper part
to meet the N2. Don't make it a straight
line because if you did draw a straight line
from here to the end, you should find a
space in-between. Again, check this angle and pay attention to all the spaces and corners to make sure
you're doing the right shape. I will refine all the
lines while coloring, but this should be
the final outcome. And that's it. Next up is throwing another
style of rock and roll. See you.
6. Lesson 4: Drawing Ra' (R) Second Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: For this style, just
like the first throat, draw this shape with
a one to 2.5 scale. Then you will need two more
equal spaces below it. And four spaces after the sheep. By the end and beginning of the fourth space and the last point of the
shape at two marks. Then draw a line from the end of the tip of the letter
to the first mark. Then hit up with
a curve and meet the left side after
half a square. Notice this corner, the
shape touches the left side, the beginning of the
third side squared. Then it starts gradually heading right till the middle
O4 and end of one. The upper curve has
a similar path, but the end has to be
gradually them like this. Again, check the spaces and
angles for any mistakes. Anything seems off, just
iterate while coloring. Because that will
show you if there is any part too
thin or too thick at a diamond above
and you have Zane.
7. Lesson 5: Drawing Waw (O) Second Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: S4 wall, since it has the same shape and we already learned how
to draw the hair. Then I'm using to draw it. Mark two squares on the
side and two above. Joe the head inside. And maintain the right angles. The orange side, and
delete any extra costs. And that's it. Next stop, we're having a third
style of rock. See you.
8. Lesson 6: Drawing Ra' (R) Third Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: The third style of
rock looks like this. That's a very simple
and general way to see how it looks like. So start with seven
squares up and foresight squares mark half the space
of the second side square. And the second upper square leave a tiny space
before the end of one and add a mark at where it meets the middle of the
upper second square. Start to bracket shape from
here and go up an indent where you added a marked been continuously until you
meet the other side. The bottom side is
somewhat better loon, but starts from the same point. Mark the point where
the middle of two on the side with the
middle For above meet. Then take the curve there. The bottom curve
follows as well, but in a pattern bath. And the line continues
till you hit the end of four with the middle of
the upper six square. That line wouldn't be as curvy, but it's not straight either. Then mark the end of
seven with the middle of three and draw
another curve there. Then ended with a
straight line to the right up to the beginning of seven and slightly before the upper side. The upper line is better till
you reach to the seventh. And losses base of the shape, start narrowing
the space to make it end with a sharp point. This curve should have
around 3.5 spaces below it. As you can see, the
shape has three parts. Always check these
sports for mistakes. And make sure the spacing between has room
for two squares. That's right here,
is the baseline. That part is more
strict than the others. And now is the time
to edit and color. Here we go. Next stop is another
style of me. See you.
9. Lesson 7: Drawing Meem (M) Second Style in Thuluth Calligraphy: My name is very similar to row, but let's start with seven spaces on the top
and five on the side. On the right side, mark the end of
one, middle of two. Then draw a line like this, leaving a small space
at the beginning. On the left side mark the
end of seven with the middle five on the same bottom line
mark the middle of sex. And inside this imaginary books mark the point where
both ends of two and to meet them too from the side
and three from the top side. Then draw two lines from both
marks, not straight lines. The next part is going to be the end of four from the right with the end
of five from the top. Continue the bottom line to this mark and till you
reach the lower point, then turn the lineup
to the left side, where the middle for me, it's the left side, then back right to the end
of sex and end of one. The top line follows
the same path, but it's longer to
make the end of the letter as thin as possible. All the shapes should
feel natural and smooth. So I always start with
easy shapes there and find all the lines I want and all the curves to create the
outcome I'm looking for. The first part of the
letter should have room for three squares below. And before the end of the shape. If we draw a straight
line from here, it should meet the start of the final curve of the letter, leaving a space in
between to make sure you have the
right thickness, not too thin or too wide. Now that we're done
with the body, Let's start the head
with two squares above and 1.5 on the side. Mark the middle of
others seconds square. Then draw a line from the
end of the first slide, square to the mark
on the top part, then down with a curve to around the middle of
the first side squared, thin down slightly to the right, to the middle of the
second upper square. And slightly after the end
of the second side square. Mark the point where
both ends of 1.1 meter then draw a line from
this side up to the left. And before it crosses the middle of the first slides square. Turn it around to
that point and makes sure that the end of this
shape is sharp and thin. The lift shape, the right shape. And that's the general
shape of the letter. Make sure this is not a straight line and
check that there is room for two squares inside
the last part of the letter. That looks like a U-shape. And that sets one more letter and we're done with this group. See you.
10. Lesson 8: Drawing ba' (B) in Thuluth Calligraphy: This is how bad it looks
like in this time. 3.5 squares on the side and
six-and-a-half squares on the top mark the middle of square two
and the bottom line, this coordinate right here and
the end of the upper side. Also add two marks
here and here. And here. Start with a straight line from the bottom up to the right. Then hidden side with a curve. This part should be sharp. Hits the middle of the
second right square, then head-on side and down to the first mark we added
at the bottom line. Then up again until
you reach the end of the shape with the end of
the first sine square. Then inside to the end of
the sixth upper square, create a pattern, a line, and you have your letter ready? When we add a diamond
under the shape, we have. If we add two above,
we have debt. If we add a third diamond, we have fat. That's it. Next up is the class
project. See you.
11. Class project : For the class project, I want you to start
with the idea. Think what shapes you want to
create using these letters. Which group are you using? Or are you going to use
a mix of all of them? You don't have to
follow the outline in this class in the same order. Because the point is to understand the anatomy
of the shapes, not to tell you how
you should draw it. If you feel you should
start from the end, do it. Explore different options first, when you find
something you like, start getting serious
with the outline. I prefer this style, so I will use this group. Then I'm duplicating the shape. Then start exploring more. By rotating or flipping. You can create many shapes. Alright, That's
my class project, starts yours and share it. And I will see you
in the next lesson.
12. Outro: Thank you so much for watching your comments are
always welcome. So kindly share your review and your project to help me create better classes
in the future, I will share the next
group of litters Soon. So kindly follow me for more
content on calligraphy. And if you liked this class, took my other classes as well. Thank you so much
and bye for now.
