Description well, I'm trying to put together this portfolio for a college, and they said to include anything that was artistic that I do, and well, I love doing calligraphy, so I chose a quote and just started writing. I chose a very gothic, industrial looking style, kinda a mix between a texturia and old book script from england. I used a very steep nib angle (nearly a 45 degree) as was the style at the time. this is the best version so far I think, although I'm still tring to figure out what kinds of fourshes I want on the magistuals and the extened double-hiegth letters, which is why this is in scraps. tell me what you think of it.

note: yes it's rough, its' on binder paper after all, and yes you can see the doodling on the next page, but oh well, not much I could do about that now.

To be honest with you, I think you did pretty close to the best job you could do without being formally taught this technique!!. My only comment would be to take up lessons on this technique to better yourself, if it's one of your interests
