Practicing strokes and single letters while I scour Nairobi for proper supplies. Apparently I’m working with a broad-tip fountain pen using a pointed-tip dip pen calligraphy book (you really can’t win)

“Calligraphy is not handwriting.” Interesting advice! Thorpe suggests that thinking too hard about the sense of what you’re drawing can distract from focus on how letters look in relation to each other, and to practice nonsensical letter combinations or in foreign languages to drill style & form before substance
