Wow I actually read about that in Jacqueline Svaren's Written Letters: 29 Alphabets for Calligraphers, but that book is nearly 40 years old so I wasn't entirely sure it was still a thing! It's both surprising and unsurprising at the same time. I'll have to look into that for sure.

Here it is, in the paragraph at the bottom-right. This is one of my favorite calligraphy books. Her italic is one of my aspirations. I have the nice spiral-bound 29 alphabets version, I heard the updated 33 alphabets version is just paperback and wasn't published as nice but still good enough. Definitely worth getting your hands on. I almost want another as a backup copy. Here are a few more excerpts. Good stuff.

Well I certainly wouldn't want to ruin my first impression of fountain pens, but as someone new to them, it does look a tad intimidating.
Is this what you were talking about? I do have a few questions, I hope you don't mind.

Are fountain pens refilled like rollerballs via ink cartridges?

What is this about cartridge converters?

Does being left handed affect how well I'd be able to use it?

Thanks for you help, I really appreciate it.

I did notice the similarity. I've been looking at the few difference "italic cursive" forms that are out there. I did get a copy of this Arrighi's Running Hand book but I think I need to pick up a more modern one as well to practice from.

However, right now.. I'm actually mostly focusing on basic American cursive. I'd like to be "decent" at both styles. I love how some of the flourishes can look in cursive for writing little notes, cards, letters.. I love the speed and readability of italic for work notes, meetings, journaling, etc.

yeah I probably should write on the line, I like the look of it off the line, and I knew someone who could do that and it would look like she was writing on a nice straight line a little above the actual line. it was beautiful and meant that the descenders from her letters didn't interfere with the ascenders on the next line.

As for my meal planning notepad :) It's the Knock Knock What to Eat notepad, it's got a magnet on the back so you can mount it to the fridge, I also have their All out of one on my fridge so I can quickly mark things off when I run out of them and use that when creating my grocery list the next week

I will definitely check those out, thanks! I'm a big fan of the beauty of Spencerian so something that comes close but is good at speed means I'm definitely interested. I may wind up switching from...whatever it is that I'm learning.

You may also like the Platinum Preppy, which draws a finer line than the Varsity. Found here!

Also, non-fountain pens that I love for scrapbooking and journaling are Pigma Microns available in several sizes found here. They are archival, which makes them amazing for what you're doing, and smooooth!

Another suggestion are the Papermate Flairs. They are felt pens and come in awesome colors. Found here

I'm guessing that copy is for your performances but not for others? If you give it to someone else, do it in pen. Check out some of Crumb's scores for some hand-drawn inspiration.

When you hand-draw scores you should use a ruler on all lines.

In the last measure of the excerpt you should use ledger lines instead of staff crossing in the LH, it makes it easier to read.

You should pick up Behind Bars to address several other issues with spacing, size of noteheads, etc.

From a composition standpoint, switch it up from using so many 3rds/6ths. Maybe check out some of Ligeti as well.

Keep it up!

Well I found this but it is $43 which is a bit wild lol. I’ll check out art stores thanks! https://www.amazon.com/Moleskine-Notebook-Cover-11-75-Plain/dp/8862931956

As someone else commented, it is from the opening (and ending) of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. You can play the games, I loved all of the prince of persias (even the DOS versions). If you want to read a book then prince of persia was mostly inspired by Thousand and One Nights. Which is more or less an evolution of Hazaar Afsana. The most accurate translation (without the forged and manipulated stories) of this is by Husain Haddawy.

Interesting video....it is a shame that it is not historically accurate. A much better source is Michelle Brown from London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_P._Brown Her book is generally accepted as a reference A Guide to Western Historical Scripts from Antiquity to 1600s https://books.google.ca/books/about/A_Guide_to_Western_Historical_Scripts_fr.html?id=ptkHujKjIj0C

Another accepted reference on script development is Stan Knights Historical Scripts From classical times to the Renaissance. http://www.amazon.ca/Historical-Scripts-Classical-Times-Renaissance/dp/1884718566/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1453927880&sr=1-1&keywords=stan+knight

try this

seems like it may be helpful!

u/JakWote · 2 pointsr/Handwriting

Quit squeezing your pen so hard. Really focus on not holding it so tightly.

Try using liquid ink pens (fountain pens are good for this, so are pens like this and experiment with writing without putting pressure on the paper or squeezing the pen. Try holding it [like this.(http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/uploads/monthly_05_2007/post-6336-1179647944.jpg)

Yeah Korean grammar is completely flipped backwards if you're starting from English. Probably has to do with romance language root vs Chinese language root.

I think that part will come more eventually if you do a lot of listening.

I've taught Korean for a couple years now using [Elementary Korean](Elementary Korean: Second Edition Audio CD Included https://www.amazon.com/dp/0804844984/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CcXFybBHJEVNP). It's an English (vs American) textbook, but I've found it to have decent pacing.

I'm a fountain pen enthusiast, and you're helping me procrastinate, don't worry!

Grab yourself a Metropolitan, it can write on any paper no problem. The Platinum Preppy runs a bit wet.

If you find yourself in want of a notebook that can handle any fountain pen at an affordable cost, grab yourself a black n' red from Amazon.

It looks like they used the paper that is reinforced on the left side (see here).

Oh gosh it's not a basic question at all, it took me a while to find something that worked well to do this.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R4NFCZQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 <-- I used that.
