those wobbles! They drive me crazy, and are more likely to occur at sizes I’m not as used to—like this, ⅜” X-height. Bigger than I normally write with a pointed pen.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what I’d like to improve here.
We are always endeavoring to grow! And practice, practice, practice—and EFFECTIVE practice at that—is what leads to improvement. (I wrote an article all about this, at http://bit.ly/calligraphy-practice)
Pen: Brause 66EF
Ink: J. Herbin Encre Violette Pensée
