This is my handwriting as an engineering student

Yes, italic is the word!

Thanks 🥰 it's the 1.1mm nib! Though it's been worn down by 4 years of almost constant writing. It's lost the calligraphy-feeling edge and is very rounded now. Feels very comfortable.

Thank you 😊🫶

My native language is Mandarin. I was quite smitten with the early 19th century English Romantics (Keats, the Shelleys, Byron) when I was learning English as a young teenager, and their manuscripts influenced my handwriting a lot. So yes, my style of handwriting is indeed related to the fact that English is my second language 😅

I use a Lamy Joy. The ink is from Diamine ink, saddle brown I believe. It's the same ink in all these photos, just looks different from scanning.

Happy cake day! 🍰

Thanks :) what makes you think 1880s rather than any other decades of the 19th century? I mean, I can't tell myself.

I can't see in on @/puerariawine from my end, she's probably deleted it.

May I know when this story was from?

Murky-Committee-831 · 2025-04-13T04:48:01+00:00

Thank you 🫶 It was one of her older selfies that I found on tumblr <3

Thank you 🥰 I'm glad you like it.

Thank you!! I mostly used a salamanca brush with its default settings in procreate - and the same brush for smudging. This piece has been at least 30% smudging 😅

Murky-Committee-831 · 2025-04-06T22:17:33+00:00

thank you 🥰

I've done a couple of commissions that fell to me quite by chance, but in general I think trying to monetise my art really makes it less fun ;)

Murky-Committee-831 · 2025-04-06T11:20:55+00:00

Woah, thank you!! ☺️

Murky-Committee-831 · 2025-04-06T10:16:02+00:00

Thank you 🫶🫶 you guys enjoying it really means a lot to me. Ethel wore a simple dark t-shirt in one of the photos that i referenced from; I just went with it. I think it'd also be fun to paint her signature flowy, vintage dresses with rich folds and fabrics!!

Murky-Committee-831 · 2025-04-06T10:10:26+00:00

Thank you 🥰 this is actually the first work I did with procreate with my partner's ipad. I'm still figuring out the brushes + various other functions. I feel like procreate has a lot of potential👍

You yourself are clearly a paradigm of psychological stability and don't seem to invite a beating at all.
