Nevertheless, I hope that you enjoy my calligraphy <3

A while ago, @fabercastelldeutschland was so kind to send me their Calligraphy Studio Box in exchange for reviewing it. The box contains 12 lightfast and waterproof calligraphy felt pens with a broad tip (roughly 2 mm) in a range of rather natural shades, here the warmer hues (the colder ones include white, two greys, a blue and a green). I’m by no means an expert in broad pen calligraphy, which makes me maybe a good person to test these! The nice thing about calligraphy felt pens is that you don’t have to hassle with technical problems like ink flow, which nibs to use etc., so they’re very beginner friendly in general. What I find pleasently surprising with the Pitt Artist Pens specifically is that they are really firm and hold their shape quite well. Also you can get nice hairlines for serifs, flourishes etc. by tilting them a bit. So, thanks Faber Castell! I’d love a lighter grey-blue instead of the many brown tones, but that’ just me (if you look around my feed, I do like my light blues …), and maybe a red that is a tad less magenta / pink. But overall – lovely to write with! :: I was practicing Kurrent capitals using an exemplar by master scribe Wolfgang Fugger (1553). You can see that they look *very* similar to Fraktur capitals – as he puts it (roughly translated from German): »The versal or capital letters / are made and varied in different ways / as you can see on the opposite page / you can use them with all Kurrent / Chancery / and Fraktur scripts / but in the larger scripts / as in the Fraktur / you can add flourishes (as shown before) / but in moderation / and as much as the circumstances demand.« — Sometimes I think I like researching script at least as much as writing! :: I tested the pens also on white paper, but I really think they look great on grey – here I used the calligraphy pad by @pascribe! :: #calligraphy #madewithfabercastell #pittartistpencalligraphy #kalligraphie #kalligrafie #caligrafia #gothicscript #kurrentscript #kurrentschrift #gothiccaps #calligraphypen #calligraphypad #pascriberhodiapads #rhodianotebooks #calligraphypractice #kalligrafieüben #calligraphyreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CPYKpZ4An3F/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lich portrait. Last post of 2019. Earlier in the year I found a book of Edgar Allan Poe's stories on the bookshelf. I flipped through it, rediscovering an artist named Harry Clarke. This illustration is heavily influenced by his artwork.

Some grown up kids we use to know 😎✨

"Protect Me" I don't know why but I want to draw starry skies right now. I think it gives pieces a sense of space, of things bigger than oneself, of scale. I like it. Expect more pieces like this in the coming days, I have a bunch of ideas around this spike theme and the love-hate relationship we can have with ourselves. . On another note: PRE-ORDERS FOR MY INKTOBER 2019 BOOKLET ARE NOW OPEN! (link to shop in insta bio) This booklet will be square (21x21cm), and is quite a bit cheaper than my previous booklet, so as to hopefully be more accessible! All pre-orders will come with a postcard of day 2! . I hope you are all well lovely peeps, this week is going to be intense, but hopefully I'll be done with Inktober by the end 😉 Wish me luck! ❤ . . . . . #inktober #inkdrawing #blackandwhite #blackandwhiteart #pendrawing #indianink #Pentel #brushpen #calligraphypen #myriamtillson #weirdart #arttherapy #mentalhealthart #surrealart #starrynight #starsinthesky #artbook #illo #instagramartist #instaart #artoftheday #dailydrawing #artstagram #inkstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dN_vqBf8U/?igshid=3i87k1p9ifwa
