I decided to adopt Caroligian as my default script when printing.

Practicing my copperplate majiscules (and miniscules technically). Really loving the progress i made past few days but that majiscule B is horrible. I never can get the B right...

What does everyone think of my new script for upper and lower case z? This spells Zanzibar. Also i improved my copperplate in general a lot recently i think. This was fast writing.
As many of you know I had horrific handwriting a year ago and the last yea I have been practicing calligraphy. Thing is, I always practices very slow careful writing to get the letter forms as good as I can get it. I never once practiced hand writing at normal speeds as I was trying to improve.
Lately though ive been using my learning of Dutch as an opportunity to use my new found handwriting to reinforce various phrases. As such I am fast-writing for the first time and realize that somehow my fast writing is actually really good, maybe even better than my slow writing! I'm really stoked.
The attached image are three phrases I wrote about as fast as I possibly can write (few seconds) and they look pretty damn good!
I really can't get enough of this ink. It looks like an unassuming purple-black ink most of the time but if the light hits it on an angle it suddenly becomes gold. It has no sparkles or flecks in it though.
This was written with my vintage franken-pen. It uses a 114 year old Waterman's Ideal #2 nib in a TWSBI Diamond with a new customized ebonite feed. The ink is Diamine's Phillip ink.
For anyone interested here is a video I just took of me doing Copperplate with my flex pen.

After a day worth of practice I have incorporated a few. New style idea I to my signature.
A comparison of the flex / style across 3 of my flex pens. The first I made myself from a 120 year old Waterman nib. The second is a stock falcon pilot, the last one is my hand customized Custom 912 (With Motishaw Spencerian modification)
I decided to ink up my $200 franken pen (with a 120 year old nib) against my modern $600 hand customized pilot (Motishaw Spencerian modification).
This is the end result, each in a different color ink.

While i can see many of the imperfections in my writing I'm still not sure how I could train do to improve it. Suggestions always welcomed.

A lot of people liked the last post so after a bit of practice here is a slightly improved version that is a little cleaner and more consistent
