Writing Sacred in custom gothic, Durer based style lettering | Pilot Parallel Pen 6mm
Trying my luck with sumi ink this time
I have to rant…
I’ve been dabbling with calligraphy here and there. I’ve been using normal notebooks like muji, rhodia and some fabriano notebook. It’s been working fine and I like it.
Now cause I wanted to get into practicing I bought calligraphy paper from Cult Pens. It just rage baited me so hard I won’t be touching a dip pen in a week.
I’m really disappointed, the feathering is really bad it bleeds through easily and there is no shading because the absorbency is so high.
What should I look for instead 😞
Okay so uh…we’re a lil rusty lmao. But it’s a start baybeeeee
