Calligraphy: Roman Rustic & Practice Strokes

Due to a lack of proper tools, the calligraphy below was created with a generic blue highlighter.

Although this method was not as satisfactory as using tools made for the form of writing, the edge of the highlighter provided a reasonably acceptable substitute for the time being and allowed for some much needed practice.

Stroke Practice

Roman Rustic

The stroke practice went over rather smoothly. The Roman Rustic, however, was more difficult without nib width measurement. Nib width will be something to keep in mind for future practice. I spent approximately 30 minutes practicing with the highlighter (had difficulty finding materials for reference).
