How about some reverse engineering, /po/ ?

>>156191 It would work better, but it wouldn't give the same result. A quill's tip and ink flow give someone's writing more "character" as compared to a contemporary fountain pen. But it takes training to even get used to writing with a quill and "knowing" when the small reservoir of ink the quill can contain dies - therefore requiring another dip, etc. Fail to know that, and the appearance of your writing will be very irregular because of the ink flow - and pretty ugly.
As for op...Training, training, training. Start with ruled paper, use online caligraphy alphabets as models, and work, work, work. Then work some more, and there'll come a time when you can write in straight lines on non-ruled papers, and your writing will be a pleasure for people to behold. Good luck !
