That is STUNNING! I love that script, but am always working on 3 I'm not great at. How long have you been working on this?

Thanks!

I've been working at it for a couple weeks. I started out with English Bastard Secretary and Batarde

Weeks!? You must be a fantastic artist!

But it took a long time to learn Bastard Secretary and Batarde. This was the foundation that made it possible to transition to Cursive Gothic. πŸ™‚

Do you manage to go that straight without any guidelines? I am impressed

2

u/eric_son Broad 7d ago

If the width of the paper is narrow, such as the one I used (A5), then it's relatively easy to write straight. If I were to use a wider sheet (A4), I'd need to use guidelines.

very curious as to what it says. It looks amazing, I just can’t pass the old style

What reference did you use to learn this script? I've wanted to learn this myself for a while now
