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!

Just for fun!!

its ment to be meat in a glass container.

This is the project within the project, or my lettering practice to work on a vintage 70s style, bubble letters and 3D impact block letters that I will ultimately use in my final piece. This image (1st or left) is just cut and pasted from my original practice page (the other photo), to get an understanding of the layout of my project. Anyway, other than a little refinement, I like what I have so far. A border would be nice. Anyway, the letters are outlined with a Writech liquid fineline (probably the best black set of fineliners that I've used), and filled in with some generic fine point acrylic markers, on Maruman 5mm graph paper (very nice for practicing)

I was all excited to ink my newly fixed from leaking, FPR Ashoka fountain pen, only to find the ink I chose couldn't keep up. So, I finished the page off with my Tombow Fudenosuke test. For anyone starting out, or if you're frustrated by the way your lettering looks, these are the pens for you. The level of control you get from their rigid elastomer plastic nib is unrivaled and great for anyone developing and could be the answer to your lettering frustration.

I organize my sets by color families. This is my lettering practice session with the first 10 pens (that's 20 different colors), from Pure Black through Pure Violet. Anyone who's used these pens will attest to how wonderful they are, with their rich, beautiful color palette and their superior nib construction, making them much easier to control than other comparable medium to larger brush pens.

Practicing on Kokuuyo Campus Sarasara. I love this paper for practicing. It handles Ink even in heavy volumes really well, although it is sensitive to hand oils, and can be prone to feathering.
