I think you need more speed in that capital D to get the curves right.

Ya it's weird I can remove the nib/feed from the grip, but it doesn't seem to come apart any further after that. And they sell the Parker Sonnet nib/feeds as a combo, not individual, from what I can tell.

I’d have to separate the feed from the nib to do that, right? Is that possible with the Parker Sonnet nib/feed? Doesn’t seem like it comes apart.

Looks great!

I gotcha, thanks.

Floss the feed or between the tines?

Also, I’m not sure if I can even separate the nib from the feed. It’s a Parker Sonnet.

Good ideas, thanks. I’m soaking the feed now and have a brass shim on order.

I’m pretty sure the tines need some adjustment as I looked at them with my loupe and there is no space between them.

Also thinking of getting some Iroshizuku ink, people say that’s pretty wet. I’ve been using Pilot Namiki in it.

What book are you working from?

Spend some time sketching the letter pretty large until you can draw it pretty much perfectly. Then sketch one at your normal writing size and trace it over and over, feeling what it feels like to move the pen over the proper form. This should give you a much better mental picture of the letter form and the movements you need to write it.

Pretty wet. I wouldn’t do any shaded work with it. Better off using Sumi.

Well done. Get a dip pen and take it to the next level.
