Gaaaah, I love writing now! I've been doodling/practicing off and on pretty much all day everyday. SO! here is a little photo dump -
I got a Noodler's Ahab because I wanted to try a flex pen for a decent price so CPTBadAss suggested it. I was a tiny bit dissappointed at first because I had to push really hard to get much flex, but after some fiddling and dremeling, I got it working pretty nicely. I also ordered around 20 ink samples through Goulet and find that I really love the Yama Budo (I knew I would!)
Anyway, here is where I'm at!

This shows the line variation I'm able to get with the Noodler's Ahab after a bit of nib tweaking.

I tend to write the same letter over and over and over again until I get it how I like it before writing a word.

This shows the nib that I dremeled down. There are a couple ways to do it, according to google. It was intimidating at first but pretty simple.

And here is just something I did by a lamp while my power was out. outlined in Noodler's blue black, filled in with prismacolor marker. The thick/thin lines were inspired by my new love for flexin!
