    What about straight pens with elbow nibs? Do they provide the same results as oblique pens?

    I just got a beginner calligraphy set. It had ink cartridges (maybe an inch long) that are pressed into the frame that holds the nib and the ink flows like that of a pen… so no dunking in ink. Does this need to be cleaned in the same manner? Just started out so this is a whole new world for me lol.

    What oblique brand of pen do you recommend for beginners?

  • @slyrik1145
    @slyrik11458 ай бұрын

    so basically an oblique pen is for those dumbasses who do not know how to turn the paper!

  • @LHCalligraphy1

    You are most likely applying too much pressure - there should be zero pressure applied on your upstrokes. It’s also possibly the tools you are using. We cover this more thoroughly in our starter kit which includes tools curated to work well together for beginners. You can find it in our online shop here: laurahooperdesignhouse.com/calligraphy-supplies-and-education

    Also an option to thicken ink is to let it try with an open lid over night so the water evaporates :) youre welcome

    Although my hand writing is more akin to neanderthal cave paintings compared to your beautiful script I find that it improves with very heavy papers when using my fountain pens. When I write upon watercolour paper it dramatically improves, although there are some bleeding issues, is there a heavy paper you can recommend that I may precure here in the United Kingdon.
