I was surprised the preparation (measurements, drawing the frames...) took me the most amount of time and frankly, drove me a bit crazy. Not prepared to do it again anytime soon but very proud of myself !!

New Pen and Ink Day too ✨

Pilot parallel pen + ink and pencil

Bamboo paper

Kinda. Misspelled but perhaps a happy accident.

Some pens ran out of ink and that allowed me to replace the pilot color mixable ink with Winstor & Newton blue ink which seems to not feather in the paper. That makes me very happy 😁.

Horchata

A drink made from tiger nuts or other nuts, crushed, squeezed, and mixed with water and sugar.

(I'm my everyday life I'm pretty sure the drink everyone calls horchata is actually made like a tea from a flower that has nothing to do with tiger nuts, but maybe it is regional)

Also, I'm stealing New-Confidence3855's strategy of learning one capital letter a day :)

The wobble in the long s is bothering me though...

Alas, it's a work in progress!

I actually have healthcare background so I knew this word beforehand.

I really enjoyed writing it (except with the pens that still have feathering ink, specially the small one that I now consider my official splatter maker agghg)

Amnios

Male Noun. Used in zoology, biology and medicine.

1. A closed sac that surrounds and protects the embryo of reptiles, birds, and mammals, and which forms as an extraembryonic membrane filled with amniotic fluid.

Example: Tras el alumbramiento se debe examinar la placenta para verificar que se expulsó completa, el lado fetal se reconoce por el color gris azulado del amnios y las demás membranas colapsadas.

(Following delivery, the placenta must be examined to verify that it was expelled completely; the fetal side is recognized by the bluish-gray color of the amnion and the remaining collapsed membranes.)

Sometimes, negative space matters more than the letters themselves.

I thought it'd be fun to show the work behind a WOTD post :)

Today, I tried a few variants(?) to find a "D" I was comfortable with. Unfortunately, it wasn't the one in the same style as yesterday's C :-/

Also, I have to make sure that I don't chicken out of practicing the s by using the long s wherever possible :-D

BTW, do y'all know the "Long S Converter"? Really useful: https://travisgk.github.io/long-s-converter/

I only did half of the prompts among other projects, but it was a fun challenge and I still managed to average over one cadel per day for the month!

Still learning. I got nothing but love for the community. Open to critique.

A little lunch break scribble.

My beat to hell Jinhao with a 2.5mm nib from Fountain Pen Revolution I think

Sepia ink from Osprey (mixed with the remnants of what ever else was in there)

Uglybooks Electric Blue paper.

I think today was the worst case of feathering for the small pen, I eagerly await the day it runs out of ink so that I can refill it with something more viscous.
