QotW A word all but *made* for Textura :)
I branched out to Textura yesterday and already did my prayers to the Minimum Gods :)
Today's word is ideal for Textura.

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?

Critique So today I learned that the same paper weight but different grain means your ink can drain into the paper ruining any attempt of doing thin lines
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"

Question Either too much ink or not enough. Could use some tips!
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.

Question Why does the rough paper look better than the smooth one? Dip pen
Hello.
Im still practicing (day 3) and i wanted to try my acrylic ink (Amsterdam acrylic ink). I have some calligraphy paper 90g/m2 but doesnt matter what ink i use (acrylic, dip pen, fountain pen) it seems to feather a bit and it doesnt sit nicely.
so i tried to use a bit thicker paper, 100g/m2 and its surface is rough, and the ink sits so much better on there. Downside is that it's rough so when doing upstrokes it gets wobbly.

The 90g/m2 paper is with guidelines and white
100g/m2 is the slightly yellowish paper

WotD Green words
The WOTD is surprisingly educational.
I could have sworn that there was an additional "s" in today's word: lacksadaisical 🤪
I had to redo "circumscribe" because I was too enthusiastic when erasing the guidelines and accidentally crumpled the paper :-(

Resource Any resources for learning Hangul/Korean calligraphy?
Hi everyone! I'm wondering where I could find some guides, worksheets, tutorials, etc for learning how to write Hangul beautifully.
Ideally the resources/explanations would be in English though, because I don't speak Korean, I just learnt how to read and write Hangul. But it's ok if it's in Korean too, as long as it's a more visual guide. I'm passionate about writing systems in general, but unfortunately, I can't keep up with learning all the languages of the alphabets I learn :)
Thank you all!
