I've been practicing my daily shaded hand, but obviously not my spelling.

 

 

 

Other Examples

Very nice. Also, I like the ink. Are you using a straight or oblique holder? Have you had any luck with white ink? Just wondering...

this is a good word for practice with letter spacing and lifting/sliding your hand during long words ... (and a good exercise for remembering where you're at on paper during spelling long words too ... going back and crossing t's and dotting i's ... and deciding when to do that is kind of fun with this word as well ... )

I believe I actually "draw" my letters too much ... so I read that some good exercises for this was to use chalk and a chalk board (to get whole arm movements going). Hummmm ... I don't have access to that ...

 

So ... perhaps a writing app (I used NoteShelf) and a full sized iPad would work ???

Dip stub nib vs. dip super flex nib. Both writing with same ink, same paper, same size guidelines. Straight holder, modified, home-brewed blue black fountain pen ink with gum arabic - Canson Marker paper.

 

Next step, develop a better style suited for a stub nib rather than writing like it's a flex.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.
