For those if you who are filling this in for the first time, thank you.
You will not be disappointed.
 
The new and augmented grids, embedded in the attached link, have been developed out of the extensive research found
throughout the manual. They are best printed on acetate, this allows light through them which results in darker lines when
working on a light table or on layout or marker paper.
 
The majuscule practise grids is at 6 parallelograms high.
The minuscule practise grids are at 2 of the 3 parallelograms.
This makes for easier practise but I would like to you remember I work with the 1:2 ratio.
I would like you to eventually get back to 3 parallelograms high for the minuscules.
The 2 is only until you learn the shapes and proportions.

Remember to practise the letters ONLY IN THEIR GROUPS, until you are ready for words.
Please take you time with you practise and do not rush it.
Please also correct your practise with a red ink pen at the end of every line, and not at the end of a full page.

01 - Brush -Majuscules and Minuscules - 14mm

This is an excellent grid for writing with the Fude8 or the Zig Clean Color Brush Pens. Don’t press too hard, and try to stay
between or just on the lines. I found this size to be best of practising.
If you want to write bigger figure out the writing at this size first. 

02 .I - 02 .V – General Guidelines - Full Page - 3mm , 4mm, 5, mm, 7mm & 9mm
These are based on the grids I use in the studio. Once you get to the stage where you are no longer relying on the parallelograms
to engender spacing, having 55° lines further apart allows you open up the letters but still retaining the up at 55 and down at 55
relationships. I find these grids particularly useful for experimenting with scripts other than copperplate.
 
03 - Majuscules - 50° and 55°
This was built out of the interaction of the 50 and 55 lines and assists with the connection between the Line of Universal Beauty
and the Connective Stroke. This is the basis of the widths of the majuscules. When used correctly it will help you build a better
sense of majuscule shape and proportions.
 
04 - Majuscules - Dots and Dashes
This was built to assist with writing the Line of Universal Beauty and the Connective Stroke. There are two techniques to writing
the two lines where the tops are heavy and the middle 2/3 is light or the opposite. It allows you to develop rhythm whilst writing.
More importantly, it helps you with letter space and proportion.
 
05 - Majuscules  - Full Page Grey Shaded - Breaks
A full page without separator lines along the horizontal. This grid allows you to concentrate on writing the letters in a grid with
space enough to draw arrows to point to where you have made mistakes.
 
06 - Majuscule  - Full Page Grey Shaded - No Breaks
This full page is for writing blocks of text using an x-height of ½ the cap height. It is completely ½ shaded to allow the writer to
write confidently. This grid works well under as a guide sheet under another sheet of paper. It looks confusing but once under
another sheet, the intensity of the lines make counting the spaces much more easily.
07 - Majuscules - Half Grey Shaded - No Breaks
This is a practise page. It is for practising the majuscules, and the minuscules, with space in the horizontal to facilitate note-
making to correct issues with the letters. The darkened boxes match that of the boxes in the manual for the majuscules.
 
08 - Minuscules  - Full Page Grey Shaded - No Breaks
This is to allow you to write a whole page of minuscule text. The grid at this size does not work very well for the majuscules as it
makes them too wide. This is a practise grid idea for writing out words in minuscules or pages of copy in minuscules only
 
09 - Minuscules - Half Grey Shaded  - No Breaks
Developed for the manual, this is one of the basic grids. You are to write the practise in the middle line of the baseline and
x-height only. This is to allow you to correct your letters and make notes on what you think you might need to focus on.
 
11.I - Minuscule – Swelled Stroke - Half
This is a pencil exercise only. It is really to get you to understand the turns at the tops and bottoms of the swelled stroke. This
stroke is not only the basis of the minuscules, it is also the basis of the spacing between the words. Ensure you can make these
shapes at this size before you start attempting words.

11.IIII - Minuscules – Swelled Stroke - Full – Pen – 10mm

This is the next size down and works well with a fine pencil (like a 0.7, 0.5, or 0.3mm point) as well as a pointed flexible nib. It is
at a smaller scale to really help you with your pen work, just be careful with it as it now means there are more lines to cope with
visually. Hopefully, this will also force you to slow down your writing.

10.I- Majuscules – Line of Universal Beauty & Connective Stroke – Pencil or Brush– 25mm
This is a major breakthrough in the construction of the majuscules. Make sure you know which principal line is on the LoUB and
it will show you why the letters are the widths they are. It allows you to really understand the 1/6 at the top and bottom and the
2/3 straight line in between as they both fall on the 50° and 55° lines. This exercise should really only be done with a pencil due
to the scale of the letters. You can work with a nib or better still a brush, but it is meant to principally help you with understanding
letter widths in a skeletal format for you to then move to the smaller grid of 11.II
 
10.II- Majuscules – Line of Universal Beauty & Connective Stroke – Pen & – 20mm
This is the next size down and works well with a fine pencil (like a 0.7, 0.5, or 0.3mm point) as well as a pointed flexible nib.

11.II - Minuscules – Swelled Stroke - Half – Pencil– or Brush – 15mm

This is a major breakthrough in both the construction of minuscules and the space between them in order to write words. It is
initially quite confusing as once you start writing words the ligatures and indeed the starting of the letters will not be on an
upstroke, and corresponding strokes will fall an up on a down and a down on an up, but be careful and write slowly and you will
see how this will revolutionise the spacing of your script. This grid works well with minim letters, letters with no ascenders nor
descenders, it is a great practise grid to get you to the 12.II

11.III - Minuscules – Swelled Stroke - Full – Pencil or Brush – 15mm

Essentially the 21.I but for ALL of the minuscules. The pulley exercise is now distributed across the 3 bands which comprise the
letters. This allows easier visual perception as to location of the overloop on the ascenders and the underloop on the descenders.
The grid is large so works
