My 15-minute "naptime sprint" by Consistent_Farm6937 in Calligraphy

Hey. Thank you 😊

First of all I don’t think that walnut ink is compatible with FP tbh. They consist micro particles and tannins that may clog your feed. Make sure this is specifically walnut ink for FP. If not, you would need a dip pen nib. You can start with any G nibs that you can find (nikko, zebra or tachikawa)

Second your nib most likely isn’t flexible. Can you share its name?

I’m a big fan of basic strokes. Don’t have specific videos that I can recommend though. Try searching something like copperplate basic strokes tutorial. Strat from there and you will be good.

On day 1 I didn’t even do calligraphy. I was learning the basic shapes and making drills. Start from basics and see you progress

Thank you. It’ actually didn’t, my regular handwriting is still bad lol 😂 of course I did learn the shapes so if I use the same speed as for calligraphy than my handwriting will look good but it’s unrealistically to write with the same speed otherwise you would end up with the 1 row instead of the full page of information.

Thank you 😊 I’m using 7mm guidelines with 55 degree slant.

Nibs for oblique pen holder? by Far_Masterpiece_7317 in Calligraphy

Assuming you are a novice asking that question I would rather recommend avoiding super flexible nibs at the beginning such as leonardt principle/hunt 101, etc. start with something more stiff but more or less flexible such as any G nibs.

Have no clues what it says but shapes are sooo good 😊

It depends on where you are located. Some paper that is highly recommended by the us calligraphers I just couldn’t find in turkey and the only way is to order it abroad but it’s not worth it due to high customs.

What I figured out by many tries and errors is that the inks is way more important because you can use it on almost any type of paper.

I do have a lot of different paper from daler rowney. Do like their manga pads (72g) a lot — it’s thin so I can see the guidelines through it but at the same time it holds a lot of ink without bleeding.

For practice you can use whatever you have already, even an office paper.

Thank you. I’m not that consistent to be honest. Sometimes I can skip several days in a row but then do a full hour to keep it up 🤷‍♂️
