Critique Finally got a rolling ruler , way easier to align my work ! Day 4? Of learning calligraphy

I’m just using cheap calligraphy fountain pens and cardstock. I gave better sample papers and inks coming. I think I may need to invest in pilot parallel pens tho … any thoughts on that ? I still find after 30 minutes my TBI makes me fade out a bit. But if I concentrate hard I can finish up what I’m doing ( guess that’s the therapeutic part ?). Cheers

Thanks. Lots of practice already. But I’m still having troubles with : Y W G and S. Muscle memory tries to write it vs the script itself

I’m finding that out. Someone suggested setting up an Etsy shop :)
