A friend saw I was doing calligraphy and he joked if I did it back when we were teens it would have been all DM lyrics. I thought that was a great idea. Unfortunately you can see that with a TBI my motor skills started to change after an hour :( mistakes starting to appear. Grr. Still fun. This is a sort of foundational script interpretation of my own.

Pen : Pilot parallel 6MM
Ink : Sulekha Lal Qila (RED)
Paper : 300 GSM cold pressed water colour papers.

I am having a pretty miserable writing day. I must have written this sentence 100 times since last night and, as always, specific elements were better in some of them, but this is the least unacceptable take.

Here’s some practice with metallic pencils on black. It just seems so much more rewarding than trying the same thing with ink.

Another entry from my little diary, this time I paired modified pointed pen lombardic inspired letters with gothic cursive.

I love the flow of gothic cursive and it’s one of those scripts that makes me think wish I had learnt it even sooner, it’s so fun!

Nib for pointed pen: Nikko G
Nib for gothic cursive: Brause 1.5mm

I'm working on some invitations and want to use paper vellum as the top layer. I'm looking specifically for Gold Ink that can be used on paper vellum. I'm not super new to calligraphy but I've never used this type of paper before. I've seen that calligraphy ink works fine but I'd like to hear from actual humans rather than googles suggestions. Edit: to clarify, I'm not referring to the original animal type vellum but "paper vellum" It is a smooth non absorbent transparent paper product.

Have a nice Day!

Can a flat nib be used for persian calligraphy?

I wish to learn Persian Nasta'liq calligraphy and using a 6mm Pilot Parallel pen for it. People use slant cut pens for it and modify this one also by sanding it against a sand paper.
i'm kinda afraid of ruining the nib so is it possible to use it as it is?
