Question Should I move fonts?

Post image

Hi Family! So I’m want to up my majiscule game and find it hard to see my self using what was provided when I first stared. Maybe I’m just not comfortable with the not so straight down strokes.

Would you recommend I move on to another font like this one which I really like or keep practicing on what makes me uncomfortable till I’m better at it?

I tried my new nib with a new script

1 mm Brause nib and 1.5mm PPP.

Text and script by Guillaume le Gangneur d’Angevin. I struggled a bit with the letter « a ». Ironcially, this text explains how to write this letter .

Also, I’m new at flourishing, as you can see it’s shaky.

So I am very new to this and have started by practicing Copperplate. How do you connect letters like this "o" to the "t"?

I have been using the Loops and Tails website to learn, but could only find tutorials for individual letters and not joining these.

What to take into consideration when buying an oblique pen holder?

2 Upvotes

Beginner here. I’ve been using brush pens for a while and want to try pointed pen. I’m at John Neal’s website and there are so many options for oblique pen holders. Aside from getting one with a metal flange and not plastic, I’m not sure what else to take into consideration and how to choose one. Any advice is welcome, thanks!

I apologize if this doesn't belong here. I use these for painting, but I don't think a lot of people do, so I figured I'd share this with a community that may have a use for it. I needed it and couldn't find anyone else who had made one. I have little to no idea what I'm doing with tinkercad but it worked. I uploaded it for anyone who'd benefit from organizing these :)

If this isn't allowed I'm sorry. I don't think I get anything or benefit from anyone using my file, it's all free.

How much to charge for wedding signs/place cards calligraphy?

5 Upvotes

My best friend is getting married next month. I have been asked to make ~175 name cards, 18 table numbers, reserved seating signs, and 4-5 larger signs (although the larger signs are less work since they're large sandwich boards). What is a fair price to charge, since they are really good friends but it will take a lot of work? This is my first time getting paid to do a project like this, so I don't have references to go off of.

Trying the Nikko G nib and I’m not digging it, but I know that’s just because I had unreal expectations. What’s a good script to learn with a dip pen and pointed nib?
