Sorry for the poor photo quality. The pen on the left is the TWSBI Classic in Burgundy even though it looks much darker. TWSBI really has my number. When they announce new products, it seems like my wallet is out and orders are placed before I even realize what I am doing. Maybe I should just give in and become a full-fledged TWSBI collector.

Those are all beautiful! I really want one of the minis...

 

I'm using my 1.1 Lamy CP-1 today to draft a letter- I have to use this fill of Herbin 1670 for something!

Same, especially faces.

I often have a go at body shapes but tend to draw people facing away :huh:

 

Been playing with my slightly modified Ahab and good old Parker Quink Black again.

Sorry for the bad flex and messy handwriting. I'm not feeling well enough to put effort into it.attachicon.gifimage.jpg

 

You show us a very nice handwriting. I like your pen and ink combination too.

New to the forums and my first post of my handwriting, hope it isn't too bad....

 

Kquill,

 

I'm curious about this pen. I always see some of this at sale but I don't know much about. Can you tell me about the nib flex properties of Whal Eversharp?
best regards

Pterodactylus,

 

;)

 

mukukaduk,

 

I'm not expert but I read at some sites on Internet that slow writing is the key of success for this type of handwriting (Spencerian). Maybe I'm wrong but other people can confirm (or not).
And your handwriting sample is very nice.

I got a ping this morning from an FPN friend, wondering if I were still alive and kicking. Still here, loving all the new folks on this thread!

Hey Manny, what's with the BIC?! :)
