Here’s some practice with metallic pencils on black. It just seems so much more rewarding than trying the same thing with ink.

Another entry in my little notebook, in this notebook I am trying to make every page different, and it has been very helpful to me from a design standpoint.

I have been doing some pointed pen uncials and a lot of different kinds of pointed pen, but it was time for me to finally pick up the broad edge pen and I am happy that I did, I really like how Uncials are looking with pointed pen Art Nouveau letters.

I used the Brause 1.5mm nib for uncials and Nikko G for the pointed pen Art Nouveau letters!

I hope you like it!

Can a flat nib be used for persian calligraphy?

I wish to learn Persian Nasta'liq calligraphy and using a 6mm Pilot Parallel pen for it. People use slant cut pens for it and modify this one also by sanding it against a sand paper.
i'm kinda afraid of ruining the nib so is it possible to use it as it is?

Parallel pen 3.8 mm
Watercolors
Aquarel paper

Have a nice Day!

Pen : Pilot parallel 6MM
Ink : Sulekha Lal Qila (RED)
Paper : 300 GSM cold pressed water colour papers.

I am having a pretty miserable writing day. I must have written this sentence 100 times since last night and, as always, specific elements were better in some of them, but this is the least unacceptable take.

I'm working on some invitations and want to use paper vellum as the top layer. I'm looking specifically for Gold Ink that can be used on paper vellum. I'm not super new to calligraphy but I've never used this type of paper before. I've seen that calligraphy ink works fine but I'd like to hear from actual humans rather than googles suggestions. Edit: to clarify, I'm not referring to the original animal type vellum but "paper vellum" It is a smooth non absorbent transparent paper product.

A friend saw I was doing calligraphy and he joked if I did it back when we were teens it would have been all DM lyrics. I thought that was a great idea. Unfortunately you can see that with a TBI my motor skills started to change after an hour :( mistakes starting to appear. Grr. Still fun. This is a sort of foundational script interpretation of my own.
