Wondering if anyone would post videos of themselves writing in their everyday hand. I would really love to see HOW some of the beautiful handwriting is formed when pen is put to paper! I am new here and can't remember all the usernames but several in the penmanship section come to mind: GClefHDougCaliKenShinyDemonAmperiskYennefershoz_on4u...and many more! You are all an inspiration to me to work at making my writing not only better but my "own." Thanks in advance!

Hey there, I am quite the Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit fan and always loved the penmanship and scripts displayed in the movies. So I searched for the appropriate fonts to write in that specific style. In the process I came across an amazing project idea which gave me the motivation to give it a try and write the first few pages of The Hobbit. I especially liked the idea to create a cover and a contents-page. So I practiced the new found scripts a little bit and gave it a go. Here are the results so far: http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r799/manoart/hobbit_1_web_zpse644303c.png http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r799/manoart/hobbit_2_web_zpsdc94e5de.png http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r799/manoart/hobbit_3_web_zpscebecd64.png I used four different fonts total. Mainly "kereru" for the Text and small headlines, the "party business"-font for the slightly bigger headlines, the dwarf runes for the contents page (and signature ) and the "Hobbiton Brush Hand Font" for Tolkiens name. The inks I used were Noodler's Black, Diamine Red Dragon (ironically not for the dragon but the letters) and Diamine Poppy Red (for the Dragon). I hope you like it and find the resources helpful if you were searching for those kind of scripts as well. Til then, have a nice day. Manuel
