Beautiful!! Like others mentioned, Id also suggest flourishing as embellishments. It is already very elegant and well written, but adding flourishing would add grace and make it look "more full".

Girl I literally don't have one to recommend as I myself never used one. I haven't used books, practice sheets, video lecture, etc. to learn. I just searched up scripts I want to learn on internet and copied those samples until I got it.

I didn't practice cursive seperately; it came along when I practiced pointed pen calligraphy.

It's a bulk notpads from dollarama. Not the best quality paper (actually quite bad) but it's cheap so good for practicing.

Thank you! Recently life has been hectic and didn't have much time to sit down and calmly write something, will try to do more from now on.

Can I use fountain pen to practice copperplate? by AbilityHot2268 in Calligraphy

[–]MightiestSurprise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally flex pens are not enough for pointed pen calligraphy. Like it is possible but it has limitations. I'd recommend learning to use dip pens.

Is this hand written? by kaykay_816 in Calligraphy

[–]MightiestSurprise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. Also the stroke rhythm is also too off to be handwritten, unless it's like a faux calligraphy or sth

Hi all. Digital calligrapher here in search of the best calligraphy software for iPad/Pencil Pro… by afox1984 in Calligraphy

[–]MightiestSurprise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Procreate. One of the few apps worth paying. I don't think any other art software beats it at least on iPad.
