I recently challenged myself to make my writing look exactly the same with whatever nib I was using.... I got the 404 to look pretty close to how my writing looks with a Leonardt Principal... and with a Brause 66EF it looks exactly like the LP. I can get the 404 and 303 to look pretty similar. In any case, it was a fun challenge!

I just do roughs until it looks right :)

I write a sentence, any old sentence. I also have been trying the nibs with different inks and paper now. I've recently been besotted with Ecoline inks with the Gillott 303, Gillott 404 and the Brause 66EF. I feel like I've gone full circle as these are the nibs I started with.
Two words that often pop up on my practice sheets are Best.... and Happy!

Thank goodness it was only a Sharpie!! But I kind of wish he'd done it for real.

@JanisTX I've read about the tape trick for broad edge nibs, but have never tried it for pointed nibs.... although I did once try to fix a reservoir to a pointed nib.... and was completely unsuccessful!!!

Okay, so I order you now to produce a A4 sheet of wobbly words! Anything goes, and we can stick two fingers up at our inner critics  :)

P.S Even holding an iPad in my right hand for too long, or typing from an awkward position [as I am now!], or sleeping on my right arm seems to affect my writing muscles - I think it's something that can get worse with age.
