Calligraphy

Been using the evenings to practice on my calligraphy skills.  I've pretty much gotten the old english hand down pretty well now. 

I've been reading through and practicing chinese calligraphy.  It's totally different, but I think I'm getting down how to make straight lines, even if they are a bit wiggly.  Curved lines are looking pretty good, but the lines where it's multiple strokes or the line turns back on it's self don't look so good.

I'm also pulling letter forms out of the following image for a charter based on the same image.  It can be found here.


I've also been finding more digital facsimiles online to use as subject matter for later projects.
