Calligraphy miscellanea.

The store FINALLY restocked on inks other than black, blue, and neon pink, so inked up my 3.8mm pen with dark green, and it’s quite nice.

I just wrote a 1,600+ word ~~love letter to~~ review of the Pilot Parallel (3.8mm and 2.4mm). You knew it was coming.

And now I am going to try to not post any calligraphy for a whole week! <_<

Writing backwards with a calligraphy pen is weird, haha. Any lettering style that relies on the angle of the nib is out, basically, though I guess attempts to use the slant of the nib ends up looking kind of neat anyway.
