Sometimes I try to write with a rhythm.
I love this gradient. ❤️
Practicing Spencerian for real. Needs work, but it's a start. I actually purchased an oblique pen for the first time so I'll try again with that soon.
This is part of a poem written by Siegfried Sassoon, written with a gel pen in a mishmash of writing styles that I have adopted.
Used a Kingart gel pen. I especially love any sparkling gel pens, especially when they behave and do not skip.

Looks to be done with a pointed dip-pen and that old-timey sepia toned ink made from black walnut shells. Just exquisite 🖤
Side note: it's absolutely bonkers to put this thing side by side with a modern KJV Bible and see how WILDLY different they are from each other. Tell me more about how this book is the divine word of God and hasn't been endlessly tampered with by people r
