Pilot Stubs are more like Cursive Italics and have amazing line variation.

Just received my oblique dip pen today. I'm still pretty shaky as I learn to keep my wrist off of the table. Yes, I haven't figured out how I want to cross my t's, good spacing, or how to concentrate on my writing and remember that words like "and" have an 'n' in the middle! My capitals are also nothing to write home about. It's a work in progress.

 

Question for you all: how do you keep your paper from moving around? I have it on top of a few pages of random paper (the top one has guidelines printed on it), I try to hold the actual sheet with my off (left) hand but then end up smudging the ink (as you can see in the top line.) I also find the TR paper to be so thin/light that I can't hold it by a single side and write across. I have to adjust my hold-hand almost as much as I do my writing hand. (Pretty sure that indicates I'm doing something wrong.)

 

Leonardt Principal nib on A5 TR cream paper. I would to thank Vicary for the ink (which I believe is Private Reserve Spearmint).

 

 

 

I find the TR paper so thin and movable I can't use it with dip pens. The only way I can make it work is to tape it down with masking or washi tape. And then you risk tearing it when you remove the tape. I use heavier, 32-lb paper for dip pens. I hold it with my left hand while I write with my right.

 

Always write on some sort of non-hard surface when writing with flexible dip nibs. It makes a huge difference over a hard surface.

I have been meaning to travel off lately and thus today’s thought is inspired from travel. The thought is kinda a reminder to myself to get a travel plan in place and the target is to travel to Cherrapunji and nearby areas and also get to see living root bridges.

The thought for today was penned down via Kaweco Sports Skyline inked with Diamine Monaco Red. It is a beautiful mint coloured special edition pen.

These pen are amazing value for money. And are especially suited for rough usage.

Not really a readily available solution here, but in the 80-90s plotters had electrostatic drawing surfaces keeping nearly any paper fixed to the surface when on. Maybe some spin-off of such board?
