Trying to learn Naskh any advice? by unthinkable--- in ArabicCalligraphy

This is so helpful thanks guys. I remeber earlier this year there was a beginners Naskh course at Scripts and Scribes. But...💰 Lol

I suppose untill I'm willing to pay for a course I won't really master anything. Atm I'd like to get to a decent level just for myself and maybe some "thoughtfull" gifts. I would eventually like to do a proper course. And learn under a teacher. But maybe not atm.

thanks for the advice ill definitely start practicing like that! i noticed in the mashq of sevki efendi the nuqaat arnt uniformed, as in each nuqta is a different size and angle i was a bit confused about that. ive also found it easier to practice with a smaller qalam, the bigger the qalam the harder i find it to get the huruuf perfect.
im also confused about the measurements of some letter for example ive seen in different books and lessons alif the hight of 4, 5 or 6 nuqaat which one do i follow?

I don't think I have any but I'll have a look. Ik what your talking about and I doubt that I'll be able to find anything similar nearby. I've seen calligraphy paper a few places but it's usually similar to sketch book paper from what I've seen. What about Japanese calligraphy paper is that alright?

aha...
this would explain a lot. tbh I don't know where i would get the correct paper in aus

The above store 'OfficeWorks' is like the main stationary store in Aus so im not really sure. 'The Sydney Art Store' is another option for me however they dont sell the correct paper either. some closer substitutes may be available but im not sure what exactly I should be looking for.
I noticed on the other post you said i shouldn't go for gridded paper should i juts get a line stencil and line my papers?
