I really appreciate you ! Good job! Nice presentation!. Nice camera! Nice editing! Nice background music! No unnecessary talking! Iam learning from you! Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
I really appreciate your channel. I’ve been looking for a place to go to for calligraphy how-to. I have books, but seeing it actually done is very helpful. Thank you.
I appreciate your kind words! ☺️ A video sharing how I do my filming is indeed on my list! I hope you consider subscribing to my channel so that you won't miss the video when it's uploaded.
I am so glad you found the resources helpful ☺️ And yes! The tic tac looking boxes are what I use for organizing my nib collection! If you google “beads storage unit with lid” you will be able to find similar items!
Thanks for the tips :) I've heard some people say that it was hard for them to use leonardt principals after starting with nikko g cause they'd apply way more pressure on the nikko, do you think starting with leonardt is a good idea?
That's a great question! Personally, I've found the opposite to be true for me. When I was just starting out and didn't quite have a 'light hand,' I discovered the beauty of using the Nikko G. As time went on and my muscle memory developed, I naturally gravitated towards the Leonardt. Now, when I try to use the Nikko G again, I find my hand gets tired more easily because I need to apply more pressure to achieve the same thick shade as with the Leonardt. So, it's totally up to you! If you feel in control enough to start with the Leonardt, why not give it a try? I hope this helps you in some way :)
I've heard that you can insert these flexible nibs into certain types of fountain pens, although I personally haven't tried it yet. 🤔 I'm very curious about this as well.
There are some people that do feed conversions for this- usually to accommodate a zebra or nikko dip nib. Taking a look at my nib holder, it looks like this would be possible with a fountain pen designed for use with a #6 nib- i.e. one that has a 6mm feed diameter. The problem that I can see is that the shank of a dip nib is typically mildly conical rather than fully cylindrical- which will require the feed to be shaped a bit differently in order for the nib to seat properly. The other difficulty to overcome in using a dip nib in a fountain pen is the overall design of the nib where it transitions from the shank to the shoulder/eye area of the nib. For nibs like the nikko/zebra G or leonardt principal this isnt really an issue as they are pretty much cylindrical and will fit quite well against a fountain pen feed facilitating capillary action, whereas nibs that have a bit more "sculpting" to them (like a blue pumpkin) are going to create issues. Online shops like FPnibs and FPR (fountain pen revolution) offer #6 (as well as #5) fountain pen nibs that have been modified to allow for various levels of flex while keeping compatibility with fountain pens in mind. Noodler's also makes fountain pens with nibs of various degrees of flex, with the triple tail most likely being the best candidate for use with copperplate or spencerian script in mind. Hope that helps!
