My two favorites are Julian Waters and John Stevens. I haven't done Italic in many years but will try to soon!  :)

Don't follow anyone nor write it.

They are just basic forms of Italic Script - nothing added and nothing fancy!

I just use ordinary italic nibs of varying widths in Lamy, Rotring ArtPen, or Manuscript fountain pens. With dip pens I use the range of William Mitchell nibs.

I think that inexpensive Manuscript fountain pens in particular, are great value for money....No affiliation - I just like them.

If those are just "basic forms of Italic script", then

Rounded italic, en espanol.  Sorry the spacing a bit off.  "ol" looks like a d.

Second is inspired by BC... Real italic imho.
