CJ's Creative Studio LLC is focused on creating. From traditional art and writing, to emerging avenues of creation such as 3-d printing, CNC, and more. This channel is for videos of the journeys of creation and to share what's been learned from several decades of experience.
CJ Carter, the primary creator, moved from the high-tech world of programming satellite systems in the early 80s to the professionally creative world, starting as a sports photographer (these are still the days of film and darkrooms, no public Internet, no Photoshop, and, for a while, no IBM PCs or Apple Macintoshes). Life in various arts followed, from being an author and a screenwriter, to being a fine artist and having managed advertising art/production departments.
The majority of focus is now on producing fine art, specifically paintings and scratchboards. Other creative endeavors are also being undertaken, and there are still a few more books to be written as well.

I'm still having some technical issues, but what the heck, I'll post this anyway. Artists tend to settle in to a stable...er...stable of paints that they like to use. Oft times, their palette is home to a small number of colors most of the time. I'm no different. Here are the colors I tend to reach for whenever art is about to be perpetrated.

The idea of writing in Roundhand, much less making a version of my own, took years to be realized.

What ballpen do you use?
what pen is that
I was trying to write like that until I released he wasn’t using a pen
Wich paper r u using?
"how can I improve ...?" "practice!" 😂
my nickname is CJ and my name IS CARTER
Something with these videos just clicked with me and now my handwriting has gotten so much better always wanted to be able to write in such a way through high school and university but always struggled these demonstrated how it’s possible and varying individuality between those writing styles glad to say it’s been 3 days and i have seen a significant improvement through the use of some practice sheets found in Pinterest
Beautiful writing. Do you know of any books that have a collection of famous people’s handwriting, correspondence or letters? My goal is to improve my handwriting.
Cursive is way faster than printing, you allowed yourself to become sloppy which is why your writing became illegible. With proper technique and discipline it is possible to write both quickly and legibly in a cursive style. My grandfather could write write beautiful english roundhand almost as fast as I can write simple cursive, it is just down to practice and having standards.
❤❤❤❤love this writing
I don't like slanted handwriting. I'm always practicing making letter more vertical.
Certain pens make a HUGE difference
I agree with everything @rosanae2673 said 4 years ago. An immense 'Thank You', for your beautifully paced and patient explanation all the way through, complete with applicable keyboard shortcuts. (I do so hope you read this, to provide you with the appreciation your efforts deserved).
What about Charlie 3's writing. ????
Out of all the videos, this helped me the most. Thank you!! Your writing style is elegant and absolutely beautiful.
Hi jccs❤
I Like handwriting
there are 5 strokes to cursive writing.
My teachers are suprised i still write in cursive plus i taught myself
"What's cursive?" -Everyone under 30
✔✔✔👍
Lovely, lovely work! I am impressed. I was taught cursive in the Second Grade (1957) and have used it all my life. My handwriting is nice, but nothing so beautiful as this!
I’ve always written in a cursive style, but it’s not always been neat, due mainly to lack of practice and haste. I used to write notes for my mates to get them out of school. I did start concentrating on my hand writing style when I started doing poetry. I wrote a books worth in quite a short time and also purchased a variety of coloured inks to make life less boring. I’ve never had an expensive fountain pen, my daily writer being in the region of £10, but I did get a box full of fountain pens off a mate with iridium nibs. I have a couple I used regularly but would really like to try an expensive pen one day, just to see what it’s like. Anyway I like to think that attractive hand writing says something about a person. When I look at other peoples’ hand writing it looks like they never went to school, and these are people in quite senior positions! A few years ago a friend showed me his son’s report card from school. I commented questioningly that these progressive schools are allowing eleven year olds write their own reports now? He said “No, that’s the teacher’s writing, you need to read the comment!”. I couldn’t believe it, the writing was so juvenile.
thank you for telling me L and s
My handwriting looks just like Kafka’s lol
Perfect handwriting dued ❤❤❤❤❤
Any advice on books or online tutorials to learn engrossed-type calligraphy? The style of calligraphy used on the Declaration of Independence of the United State of America? Thank you.
my cursive is literally speak now tv
I use choi round hand (WIP) A set of letters and variations which I use in all of my writings
You: You need to pay attention to what you are doing. Not just the words, but each squiggle and line. Me : Does not know how I can control my fountain pen properly.
wow he made this 9 years ago....
10year ago
As someone from the Philippines, children are forced to use cursive rather than print, we often get points removed in hand written essays when not using cursive etc. etc. I'm currently in the 5th grade and i adore handwritings or penmanship's like these, i would say my handwriting looks as if a founding fathers handwriting due to my obsession with dark academia.
Your handwriting looks great. What name I should search for it?
I'm obsessed with your writing 👀
i litterally had one week of learning cursive never another word about it afterwords
Very cool! I learned Palmer script from my late Mom, but got lazy. Now it looks horrible. Thanks for the inspiration!
That handwriting is amazing!
What is the paper used here?
Alluminium sheet
How incredible your hand
I don't think his writing is great. It's too small and slanted.
I stopped using cursive because we were forced to stop using pencils in high school, and ballpoints just aren't compatible with cursive. The high pressure needed causes the writer to conserve his hand strength with block writing.
Funny how I was taught to write cursive for Ukrainian and print writing for English in school. Though Cyrillic cursive always felt awful and English cursive always appealed to me, and now I am mostly write cursive for latin letters and a Frankenstein the hell out of my Cyrillic handwriting.
CJ, you drive!
Honestly I prefer cursive over regular writing
My handwriting is very close to this one, always had a hand for calligraphy
Whats your type of cursive?
4:15 mine There are problems...but as I've been doing this all my life I can't change it 😅
I have started to write a novel, i hope someday it would get published and would become famous. Please pray for it.
Was always amazed by how beautiful my fathers hand writing was. Watching him it just flowed effortlessly with beautiful swirls and was always perfectly legible. Ironically he only ever wrote on the odd occasion, he was always busy working. Want to start this week developing my own as it looks like a dogs dinner currently.
I can write cursive and it’s really flowy and sometimes too close together that I can’t even read it myself💀😭
