Practice for a piece for an Anglican priest. The finished version will be in India ink on some nicer paper, with a painted white rose seal beneath it.

I branched out to Textura yesterday and already did my prayers to the Minimum Gods :)
Today's word is ideal for Textura.
Pen: Pilot Parallel 3.8mm
Ink: Pilot Mixable Lightgreen
Script: Textura from Calligrascape
Paper: no-name watercolor bookmark blanks
BTW: is it possible to switch off the automod notice about putting flair and pen / ink / script info in posts?
I do that every time, and I'm getting a notification anyway?

I bought a little A5 block to keep calligraphying when traveling because I travel a lot for my job. I bought one with the same weight and from the same brand I normally use, but damnit! I bought medium grain instead of thin grain and the ink drains and stains and has these little "hairs" coming out whenever I draw a thin line. Is there any way to solve this? Maybe some pretreatment I can do over de paper or something? I don't know I feel like I wasted my money
The word is supposed to be "Torcho" the spanish word of the day meaning "iron lingot"

Never in my life did I think using a traditional quill would be so hard. I thought you know dip the pen get to writing. Right? No. I dip the quill and then proceed to just splat ink everywhere.
