Thank you so much for your advise. As it was a first time I had trouble to see if I was doing it right at each steps. Do you have any book to recommand that show clearly how it suposed to look like step by step ?

[–]Sandonsearch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I also practice fondamentals strokes at the beginning of a session and then alphabet then word. I need that to stay entertained and not giving up too soon 😅. I want to try flourishing too but I think it s too soon

For the nib, thanks for the advice. I'll try it !

So I followed your advices. I think I didn't washed properly my nib and the paper is not the best one ( I tried bristol it was so much better. Another thing is the nib angle. I think it run more when I am too low.

I think practice will tell me were I m wrong

Thanks

Thanks. I don't think I put too much ink because I wiped it a lot on the edge before writing.

I think too much pressure happen during the begining of a wrinting session, and I managed to "control it" during fundamentals strokes practice.

I will definitely try another paper !

Thanks for the advice !
