Faux Calligraphy

just a girl and her pen(s)

[academish]

HELLO! 

Welcome to academish, our new studyblr! We hope you enjoy your stay here ;)

Our names are Shivani (Slytherin) and Nikita (Ravenclaw), two brown girls (नमस्ते) in the US

▶ We’re freshmen in high school

▶  We both speak two languages (English & Gujarati/Marathi), but we’re learning French

▶  We’ve lurked on studyblrs for a while until we realized we should start one ourselves

▶  We love two universal things: FOOD and SLEEP (and learning, ofc)

▶  Shivani here, and I’m an ENTP-A who loves mystery books and watermelon. My favorite subjects are math and science- I love technology, politics, and learning new languages. 

▶  Nikita here, and I’m an INFP-T who loves faux calligraphy and oranges. My favorite subjects are math and science (can you spot the similarities between us yet?) and I love listening to music (namely kpop), cleaning, and collecting random things.

We’d love to meet new study blogs, so if you are one, please like/re-blog so we can check you out! Have a great day :)

Hey guys, I started a studyblr with my best friend, so it’d mean a lot if you checked it out and maybe gave it a follow :)

will probably start posting little doodles I do in class (in pencil, most likely) because I don’t have enough time to do actual pieces

Hi :) I was wondering what kind of pens you use for your calligraphy? I'm just getting into it and I'm looking for suggestions.

Hi! I’m glad to hear that you’re getting into calligraphy - it’s such a fun thing to do and it looks beautiful! For my calligraphy, I use Paper Mate Inkjoy gel pens in 0.7 mm. These pens not only write smoothly (because they’re gel pens), but they also dry quickly, which I really like. I don’t have to worry about accidentally smearing something I wrote on the line above because it’s probably already dry. They also come in a variety of colors, so if you want to write in different colors, you can buy a pack of colorful pens. Happy writing!
