Dear Penmoel,

You are doing a fine job. I see your fingers and wrist kept passive, and the third and fourth fingernails gliding. The rhythm is nice and even and your slant consistent. The form will improve with thoughtful practice and determination; command the arm muscle to move the way your mind sees the letter forms.

All the Best,

B.V. Platt,

International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers, and Teachers of Handwriting

So that is a dip pen? Sorry, I just wanted to clarify. I've not used one before.

@greeterboy

Dip pen yes, you will notice many videos with the same setup.

[greeterboy]

what make and model of pen is that? also, what type of ink do you use?

[penmoel]

@greeterboy

Hi, Hunt 56 and the pen, a simple straight pen holder, some cork at the bottom for grip, the ink is Brian Walker Copperplate Ink, a very good ink, fine hairlines etc.
