the morning's #handwriting

went sepia with the dip pen, got a handle on how much i need to dip it in the future

put the empire red in the 2.4mm parallel and had a lot of fun with it; looks particularly watercolor where it dries thick

other pens too

on twitch doin' #calligraphy and #handwriting again https://twitch.tv/bonzoesc

tonight's #calligraphy & #handwriting

need to refill the small vial for the iridescent blue

spent some time working on a gothic "B" that I'm happier with than the one I had been writing; check out that gothic "S" in "Satellite" too

the cursive stuff went well too; the Noodler's Empire Red in the Sheaffer took a dunk to start, but the Pilot Iroshizuku inks in the other ones got going right away

did a bunch of #handwriting yesterday for #miamirb : https://speakerdeck.com/bryce/ruby-in-2020

tonight's #calligraphy and #handwriting

the iridescent blue ink with the dip pen is hard to photograph with my lighting setup; came to the realization that i need to match the writing size to the nib size

did some batarde hand with the 3.8mm parallel, kind of got to a point where going fast made me write better (the last two lines of that); works great with that ink as always

opened the pilot metropolitan with the medium calligraphy nib, that might be a very frequent pen for me

gonna do some #handwriting / #calligraphy https://twitch.tv/bonzoesc

#handwriting from yesterday and today

spent 10s thinking i'd not write about politics this morning during my #handwriting practice, ended up calligraphing a tweet

also pushed some ink through a bunch of my other pens

Some #handwriting from yesterday and today.

tonight's #handwriting

got the Chiku-rin working

I'm genuinely wondering about how to make the color on the Yama-budo show up on camera

neither the webcam nor the iphone really show it (it's crimson or magenta or something like that), wonder if a SLR would do better

tonight's #handwriting was a bunch of construction jargon

gonna stream some #calligraphy and other #handwriting https://twitch.tv/bonzoesc

tonight's #handwriting stream went pretty well, wrote maps, episodes, and mod names from doom

tuesday morning #handwriting

went and messed with a nytimes-style "T" and had some fun, even if i can't get the cowlick at the top-right right

found out that my sheaffer with the empire red and the metro with pilot black are on the edge of kicking

the morning's #handwriting practice

mostly wrote names of plants (mostly that I grow), and the one viewer on the stream asked me to write their name :3

kind of want a mic mount that's more isolated from the desk

getting ready to stream the morning's #handwriting https://twitch.tv/bonzoesc

sunday night #handwriting

streamed this, used an arm to hold the camera, worked well, it's at https://youtu.be/bHJDHm-mY5A

gotta do some more practice with the gothic stuff

figuring out how to deal with the sheaffer pens better (although I also reloaded the 3.8mm parallel after I was done)

gonna write more tomorrow morning

finished the #handwriting for the night

having the stream going is a lot of fun; being able to have a wee back & forth with viewers is nice, but even just having an excuse to put what i'm thinking into words feels like it helps me drill down on what i like

and what i like is the four "Fordlandia" variations in sepia, some nice iteration there

the setup still needs some work imo, might figure out if i can take the table a notch lower; floating camera on an arm or something would be nice too

going to stream some #handwriting on https://www.twitch.tv/bonzoesc/ in a couple minutes

had a nice hour of #handwriting tonight, mostly demoscene stuff

the dip pen (blue) really needs me to reload its ink vial, it's mostly empty and being obnoxious on the way to kicking completely

really happy with the shape I converged on with the sepia "Razor 1911" iterations
