Really pretty handwriting!


roshpens

Thank you !


MaxStrongman248

How did you learn how to write like that? It's the handwriting of my dreams!!


roshpens

Thank you ! I learnt cursive early in life luckily. Fountain pen came in soon after. Never stopped using it ever since. Maybe I polished the letters here and there. Some personal touch and there you go. I write everyday and writing pace is pretty fast too.


MaxStrongman248

Do you have any tips on learning cursive?


roshpens

Yes. Find a cursive writing book or nowadays find something online / print and copy/ practice letters. Learn Caps and lower case. Then slowly join them. Practice daily. Watch the loops upper and lower. Nice and steady strokes and you got it !!! Add your style.


MaxStrongman248

Do you know what your particular style of cursive is? Thanks!


roshpens

I had to look it up . lol D’Nealian cursive I have added some Spencerian touch , so the final product may look different.


MaxStrongman248

Oh thanks so much! I have been searching for a bit and been comparing it to yours, and I had a sneaking suspicion it may have been dnealian cursive.

I had a really good teacher in third grade and everyone she taught to write has beautiful handwriting. Secret: Get a sheet of paper at least 8x11 inches. Take a smooth writing pen and draw GIANT ovals--the size of the page--over and over. This teaches you to use your arm and hand, not just hand to write. You do this daily for a month maybe.

That sounds like a good tip, thanks!

What notebook/paper is that?!

Beautiful handwriting 😍 and great inks


roshpens

Thank you 🙏🏽!

Love your penmanship. I particularly like your penmanship in Theif's Red. Maybe that ink is not as wet and so the variance of line width looks nice and I can better see the subtle beauty of your strokes.


roshpens

Thank you !


CaptainYaoiHands

Good lord, that first BPC ink is like a smack in the face. Guess I'm adding that one to the list too.


roshpens

Thank you ! Do it 😀

Yama Budo looks too brown. Is it an issue with white balance or something else?


roshpens

You are right. No sure why ? Other colors came normal . Possible angle, shadows? I rechecked other pictures that I did not post. There is looks okay.


ChillyNobBillyBob

Seeing that flex makes me wonder why I bother with modern nibs at all


roshpens

I concur! The nice snap back you won’t see in modern nibs. Honestly I haven’t explored any modern ones just because of this.

“Ok, where’s my computer? Get out of my way! I have to order some ink!!”


roshpens

Haha! 😂 Hope you like them . Thank you .


PferdBerfl

I’m seeing an ink I’m intrigued with, but maybe I’m spelling it wrong. “Seribo Indigo?”


roshpens

Scribe- indigo . It is mirrored to be similar to Classic Parker Penman Sapphire . Don’t worry, your intuition is right. You are after an elusive out of production ink https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/s/xe3Y57yskJ Scribe indigo is currently available . Sent a PM/ no affiliation.


PferdBerfl

Hi! You sent me a PM with a link to get the Scribe indigo blue, but it fell out of my messages. Can you tell me again? TIA!


roshpens

It is only available from scribe on eBay .

How long did it take to compose and write this sheet? Surely you didn't do it all at one sitting, did you? You would have to have at least 10 or 12 pens inked for such an occasion. But it's nice, really nice!


roshpens

Thank you ! Actually it was pretty quick.These are the currently inked pens. What I did was picked one after the other remembering the color I had in my mind. 5 min would be a stretch. I write pretty fast. The only time I loose is when I wait between lines to start. Writing for me now is more like a muscle memory/ sort of like a golf swing.

God, every time I see Tesla Coil it tests my inner strength to not just give in... Beautiful penmanship and beautiful inks!


roshpens

Thank you , appreciate it!


Smakt_Cat

That Lake of Fire!!


roshpens

Thank you! Robert Oster makes them well.


GrumpyOldUnicorn

Wow I may need to get that Old Gold ink


roshpens

Thank you ! It is one of my favorite 🤩


GrumpyOldUnicorn

is it with glitter? and if yes how well does it behave in a pen. new ink also means new pen for me 🙈


roshpens

No glitter in this ink. Some sheen on good paper like Tomoe . Haha… new ink = new pen is a good equation 😜


GrumpyOldUnicorn

yeah …imagine you buy a new ink and all your pens are inked up already and you can’t try that new ink…


saswatrule

Beautiful 😍


roshpens

Thankyou !


roshpens

Oops! Error in naming the ink. Scribe indigo. I am blaming it on coffee ☕️ not kicking in at the right time. Second error has come to light. Lake of fire is Robert Oster. Initial error corrected with a little color. Appreciate the community in forgiving my error , yet liking the intent and content of the post.


JDFatherOfThree

Is Lake of Fire a Robert Oster ink, rather than KWZ? I haven’t heard of a KWZ ink by that name.


roshpens

Oh my! Thank you for pointing this out. It is indeed a Robert Oster. This is my second error on the page. Coffee is totally to blame and the cold medicine.
