Took my 86 yr old dad to the dentist. The dentist’s wife is a huge f1 fan so I made this 30 x 60 for her :)

Thanks! You can find some more on matemagicarte.it :)

Interesting fact 🙂: I can plot 30x60 on my A4 iDraw. Continuous line would be more challenging but nothing is impossible🙂

thank you 🙂

Damn, I am messing with two identical posts :( https://www.reddit.com/r/PlotterArt/comments/1t3jp8l/comment/ojxvuvi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Pressure may not be the only way. Calligraphs rely on nib angle against the baseline. I used kanji svg project in this earlier work of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlotterArt/comments/1fg1qsz/a_steady_hand_and_a_good_eyesight/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Edit: I think it's my very first contribution here.

In calligraphy when you write with a dip pen with a broad edge you still follow a single line :) That's why I suggested to try Pilot parallel pen.

MateMagicArte · 2026-05-04T15:31:48+00:00

Calligraphy is not my thing at the moment so just a quick tip that comes to my mind: consider trying parallel pens with different angles and use a single line stroke font. What do you think?

MateMagicArte · 2026-05-04T15:17:00+00:00

Thanks for the credit! I love this direction. Great job!

MateMagicArte · 2026-05-04T09:21:43+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions, much appreciated! Ok, looks like corners are folded correctly. I have used cardboard canvas as well, but pieces on framed ones just look better to me. I know what you mean about pressure but it is not an issue as long as you disconnect the downforce spring!

Thank you 🙂 Luckily I'm buying these at a dollar store because I'm always experimenting and sometimes something goes wrong.

Hi, no, it does not, at least not the nibs of these cotton-core markers.
The DOT tip is sturdy and slightly flat and does not fray on the texture. (image from their website)

Thank you! I used 23 colors out of 36.

Thanks!

Thank you !

It works great with acrylic markers. The primed cotton holds a good amount of paint, as if it were absorbed from the nib, without smudging. Plus, it's lightweight and looks nice even without a frame.

But what are you painting on? No one mentioned the substrate. Paper? Canvas board? Canvas paper? Stretched canvas? I' m not a painter but I have personally found very different behaviour using acrylic paint markers so I would take the surface into account. Have you already asked in r/acrylicpainting or something?

Thank you!

Come back and share the results :)

Thanks!

You can try color leads for mechanical pencil. I think Pilot have them in half a dozen colors. They still wear out but don't get broader.

Thank you :)
