I used to use an Alvin drafting pencil .75mm and Rotring 800+ .5mm. I even considered going calligraphic.

Then I realized the error of my ways. Now I use a 1.3mm lead holder. Thick is god.

I remember reading an article on Alessandro Mendini, I believe, in Domus that described him outfitting everyone in his office with the same favorite lead holder of his. Not a pencil. Leadholder. But I can't remember what it was and can't find the article again. I'd like whatever he's having

Primarily use fountains, mostly Parker, but also a cheap Jinhao which is actually pretty alright. I want to get a nice Pilot or Waterman though. Writing all in shitty watered down ink in the Sonnet

This is done with my left hand, it is a bit sloppier since I primarily use my right hand, just use pencils or quick drying ink.

(Or that overhand grip that makes you look like a 4 year old with crayons.)

>>11240911
Fuck, that's impressive, I cant write for shit with my left hand. I know Parker used to do left handed nibs but idk how well they work.

What pen is that?

I write like a retarded 10 year old

>>11241425
>>11241420
I agree, I've owned a lot of really expensive pens but my Jinhao is almost as smooth. They have some nice looking nibs and pens too

lamy safari or pilot metropolitan.

jinhaos are decent if you don't want to spend more than $10 (i have a great looking x750), and though i haven't tried one, i've read good things about the platinum preppy and those are like $3

>>11241425
my x750 has trouble with ink flow sometimes, and i use one of the more wet inks out there (the blue-gray pilot iroshizuku, shin-kai). any idea what's up? and yeah, i do clean it out often, about every other refill

>>11241467

Ty, it's just something that runs in the family, an elderly uncle can write with both hands simultaneously in different languages. Still need to reach that lvl.
>>11240956
>>11241501
It's just regular school taught cursive, only slanted and smaller. I hated it at first, I wanted to write big loose letters.
>>11240969
Yes.

Lamy Safari, EF nib, normal Lamy nib is as wide as the gash of a third street hooker.

>>11242085
This is the best brush pen I've ever used, it's nice and portable too. Plus you can refill the cartridges with whatever color ink.

I use all sorts of dip pens at home, on the go I use a Lamy safari. Col Erase tuscan red pencils for sketching.

i dont write like this often but heres what i have, havent really tried to do numbers in this style. i still need to work on a lot of the letters.

also this would look better if done with the right hand since the nib can flex properly

Always have a moleskine journal, Milwaukee Industrial Permanent Marker, and Space Pen Meme with me. I go through this journals like water. Alot of people don't apreciate writing stuff down anymore. Fuck taking notes in your phone.

>>11247275
Idk, I found Moleskine paper to be incredibly shit. Even pencil shows through the paper on one of my notebooks by one of them. Do you not have this issue?

>>11247295
I don't use both sides usually, The paper is OK. The journal is a meme, I acknowledge that. But for somthing that size nothing can beat it. The paper seems to be ok, I write with maker on it, that's when it shows significant bleeding. But other thank that, perforated pages on this save lives. I use a rich ink on the paper, it doesn't really have problems, other than maybe a bit of pressure bleed. Not Bad/10

>>11247307
I use Leuchtturm1917 and Rhodia because I like actually being able to use the whole notebook, but I do get what you mean, no one quite does the variety of sizes like Moleskine. I just loathed spending €25 on a notebook only to able to use half of it...I got better quality paper in a 70 pence supermarket notebook

>>11247319
>Leuchtturm1917 and Rhodia

i'm currently using a blank A5 Leuchtturm1917 notebook, a grid-lined A5 Midori notebook, and a 5x5 Rhodia grid-lined notepad
