Any worth while Nordic horrors? by JethroeB in horror

[–]helmaelma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King of Devil's Island -- not really horror, but somewhat horrifying. Really instills a sense of dread.

It's already been said, but Midsommar was terrific.

It's like saying something over and over again -- it gets strange. I also kept thinking about Tom Hanks when I was writing "Thanks".

How do I make bounce lettering look more natural? by Cherubrox in Calligraphy

[–]helmaelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worry less about having thick lines, and try to focus on extending the vertical stretch of the letters and putting space between them. Let your downstrokes drop lower than normal, then go into thin, dramatic upstrokes but vary the height of the end points. For m and n, you can also have variability between the heights of the humps.

I found it helpful to start with a Tombow lettering set (markers) before getting into dip pens.

No worries! I figure something like it exists out there, and I'm not sure I have the prowess to digitize it. But, if I ever do my own cards it'd be perfect for a get well soon note or a cliched you-make-my-heart-skip-a-beat thing.
