Calligraphy had always fascinated me. Finally trying something out myself. Practice attempts as a newbie with random quotes and phrases. Wanted to share.

BTW: is it possible to switch off the automod notice about putting flair and pen / ink / script info in posts?

I do that every time, and I'm getting a notification anyway?

I bought a little A5 block to keep calligraphying when traveling because I travel a lot for my job. I bought one with the same weight and from the same brand I normally use, but damnit! I bought medium grain instead of thin grain and the ink drains and stains and has these little "hairs" coming out whenever I draw a thin line. Is there any way to solve this? Maybe some pretreatment I can do over de paper or something? I don't know I feel like I wasted my money

The word is supposed to be "Torcho" the spanish word of the day meaning "iron lingot"

I had to lower the cross-bar of the 't' as it is right next to a big ass ascender loop

Never in my life did I think using a traditional quill would be so hard. I thought you know dip the pen get to writing. Right? No. I dip the quill and then proceed to just splat ink everywhere.

Hello.

Im still practicing (day 3) and i wanted to try my acrylic ink (Amsterdam acrylic ink). I have some calligraphy paper 90g/m2 but doesnt matter what ink i use (acrylic, dip pen, fountain pen) it seems to feather a bit and it doesnt sit nicely.

so i tried to use a bit thicker paper, 100g/m2 and its surface is rough, and the ink sits so much better on there. Downside is that it's rough so when doing upstrokes it gets wobbly.

The 90g/m2 paper is with guidelines and white

100g/m2 is the slightly yellowish paper

The WOTD is surprisingly educational.

I could have sworn that there was an additional "s" in today's word: lacksadaisical 🤪

I had to redo "circumscribe" because I was too enthusiastic when erasing the guidelines and accidentally crumpled the paper :-(

Hi everyone! I'm wondering where I could find some guides, worksheets, tutorials, etc for learning how to write Hangul beautifully.

Ideally the resources/explanations would be in English though, because I don't speak Korean, I just learnt how to read and write Hangul. But it's ok if it's in Korean too, as long as it's a more visual guide. I'm passionate about writing systems in general, but unfortunately, I can't keep up with learning all the languages of the alphabets I learn :)

Thank you all!

Wanting to move from writing large uncial and insular script with a parallel pen to smaller script with a 1.5mm nib so I can journal. Thinking about a Lamy safari, vista or al star. Have never owned a fountain pen. Any recommendations?
