amazing

That second one is in the best shape of any book I've ever saved, it's almost like it's been sitting on a shelf since 1890

Do you draw, by the way? I saw a pack of pencils

Not really, I just dabble in everything, I do a bit of calligraphy but I'm not much of an artist

I do calligraphy too, but I kind of abandoned it for a long time, I have to practice a bit someday

MAinly blackletter

Tbh I gave up on remembering names and specifics after I finished the class

I tend to just go with whatever sort of lettering comes out easiest for whatever I'm doodling

I recommend crosshatching for a nice aesthetic

I do like the look for blocks, I tend to go for just using broad chisel pens though, my attempts at actual art letters tend to fall flat

Show us something someday

I tend to just stick to words, lemme see if my portfolio is around I can drop some samples

Here's one I did doodling in a class a while back

Nice letters, but random decoration

(don't expect much form doodles of course)

Yeah like I said, not great in the way of art lmao

Needs a big first letter

This one was an actual assignment, the first one was more me making up poetry to use up letters, this is what I turned in for that alphabet

Do you have a dip pen?

Since then though I've basically given everything else I've made away, most of it is just calligraphy marker

I did work with some dip pen

I would get a dip pen and a huge, flat nib

It's nice as long as they work

But my hands are kind fucked

Dip pens don't like stutter

If the strokes are fast enough, I doubt some stuttering will matter

I can do flowing cursive, but calligraphy proper is a headache lmao, tend to go through 30-40 pages trying to do projects in dip

My issue is I tend to tense and freeze, on top of carpal tunnel, so I ink holes in my paper and then keep getting worse as I try harder

With the marker if I'm careful I can do partial strokes that blend, which means I can drop the pen and pick back up if I need to

Maybe practice can solve the problem, but I don't know

Nah, it's a tick, gets worse with time, typical member of the master race shit

ok, then you should go for big initial letters with lots of slowly done decoration

Might be a lit project

Morning chaps.

Eyo

Gday

How's it goin'?

Had a workout, feel alright
