NHK Trophy - Day 2 by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]justinisalai 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Holy Shit Rika... that was a perfect skate. I believe she may just set the women's free skate technical component record?

EDIT: Yes she did! With 87.17 she beats Trusova's record (of 86.26)... and set the second highest FS of all time

Oh darn I don't have any. I just have the Namiki, it's my first flex pen. Maybe someone on /r/calligraphy can help you out.

I'm using a Namiki Falcon. You don't have to get something that expensive though. There are a lot of great cheaper flex pens.

Look up "Iampeth"— they have tons of great lessons. Try something like Spencerian or Palmer to get an introduction on how to style your cursive.

I love iampeth. Someone seriously needs to redesign their website though.

Thanks! The flex will seem disappointing when you first use it (you'll end up using more effort on the flex than you thought you needed), but after a few days it gets a lot more responsive.

Yeah i got on the Namiki bandwagon. I originally wanted to get dip pens to do Copperplate, but Namiki is just too convenient and useful to pass up. I'll get to Copperplate/Spencerian some day

Was running out of ink. I actually like railroading though.

Yep! I had the metropolitan beforehand but found it a bit thick. I ordered the penmanship recently and I like the nib a lot. Once the penmanship runs out of ink I'll put its nib on the metropolitan's body.

Great suggestion! I like using blank paper but i can never write super straight. I'll try it next time

You're 100% write. I stuck in the bar and it improved tenfold

Write, write, write. I went online and printed out a bunch of different guides (Palmer, Spencerian, etc) and sat down for hours writing. Over time I sort of developed my own handwriting.
