GH 2.5 - Time For Markers

Time For Markers


This past week, I worked on my skills with calligraphy markers again. I practiced my letters in a particular font that I found on the internet. None of my attempts turned out the exact way that I had hoped. However, some were pretty decent. I'm still working on being positive when it comes to my efforts. Of course, I won't be automatically perfect at this. It can be slightly disappointing to see my slow progress, but I know that if I continue to work hard and not give up, I'll be able to improve consistently.

My most difficult letters in this font were: uppercase A, K, F, and W. I practiced the uppercase A so many times, I thought I would go crazy. I feel like mastering this letter is important because I want to be able to write my name in calligraphy. I also can't figure out how to write the letter W. It's all a work in progress, that's for sure.

Next week, I will try out my new equipment that came in. I'm excited to use my new nibs and ink with my dip-pen. I'm hoping the calligraphy paper will work well. It's supposed to aid in preventing the ink from bleeding, but we'll just have to wait and see if it works.

Wish me luck!
