Adventures in pen & ink – calligraphy studies

I finally got myself new inks and a better pen-holder! *fanfares* Been practicing black-lettering and other types of fancy lettering techniques/styles for a couple of weeks now. I’ve scanned most interesting  pages so everyone can check out how cool and fun hand-drawn letters can be!

Those 7 pages are only about 15% of all the experiments that I did within last two weeks since I updated my set. Filled with some random words, mostly coming from music that was playing, a few fun phrases and whatever came into my mind when I dipped the pen into ink bottle…

Since I need more practice, I’m thinking of throwing a drawing session where you can ask me via my facebook page to draw something. Your name, for example, or some clever phrase or quote. Stay tuned!
