Definitely improving, I'd say. How'd you achieve that brushed afterimage effect on the second-last picture? Also, how's flex writing coming along? :P

I've been taking calligraphy tuition for about three months, after seeing your self taught work I can't wait until I reach eight months! Admiring your work the word "art" comes to mind.

First time use dip-pen, I hope it will be better after a few month.

All I learned, I learned from Internet.

I eventually want to learn copperplate, but need to refine my italic/roman scripts.

Ok, so first is Copperplate, may I suggest you learn Cursive first, after you mastered, you can learn Copperplate.

For Cursive, you learn this: http://www.iampeth.com/books/champion/the_champion_method_index.php

For Copperplate, you learn this: http://www.zanerian.com/GalterioIns.html

Happy writting

:yikes: Wow! We are very fortunate to have you share your work with us.

 

Thank you ongnon. You have given me the opportunity to conclude that, as far as penmanship goes, I have, by comparison, simply wasted my last 8 months. You have inspired me to start afresh tomorrow.

 

Great attitude, great work. Please, please keep this thread going. :thumbup:

Knew it, you're doing great even with flex! Been following this topic with interest, and looking forward to seeing more examples of your calligraphy, ongnon!

 

Haha, at this rate, all you'll need to master is offhand flourishing and border-making if you want to get into the business of making certificates from scratch. Now that would be a great way to kill time :P

 

 

Cheers!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
