Fine peeps, here's my then and now...
I will not warn you about wearing protections, you watch this at your own risk!
If you follow me, you know that I'm posting mainly modern calligraphy.
As a matter of fact I've been seriously trying English Rounhand since only April this year.
I've always done more lettering than calligraphy. But IG together with this Forum pushed me to try and now... well, I'm loving it!
So, here are my first steps in my personal calligraphy journey:
From top: #1 is mid April, #2 mid May, #3 someday in June (didn't keep track of the date, sorry), #4 beginning of August and finally #5 experimenting some flourishing.
I'm easily distracted when I practice and I often switch from the practice sheet to a flourishing sheet that I always keep near me (strategy is everything!). So, when I get tired of writing the alphabet, I switch for 5min to free hand scribbles and I'm happy
I want to work to improve my Copperplate and I know I have a long path ahead. But the journey makes me happy and makes me discover things (also about myself) that I didn't know before.
The wonderful community here is helping so much! So thanks everyone! <3
