Calligraphy: Uncial

 Used between the 4th and 8th centuries, Uncial was a form of writing preferred for higher priority documents.

The bottom page was used mostly for becoming acquainted with the 2.0 calligraphy marker. I initially had a great amount of trouble achieving the correct thin to thick contrast and actually found myself preferring the highlighter from earlier postings–until I was made aware of my incorrect angling of the tip, that is.

The middle picture includes more playing around with thick versus thin contrast. After practicing with some random letters and getting a feel for the style of Uncial,
I started experimenting with words and sentences (and trying to restrict myself from using spaces).

The top picture was used in preparation for making valentines day cards.

I spent between 1:30 and 2 hours altogether, with the bulk of practice being spent on the middle picture.
