Lesson 3 was completed using a gold nib. People who like Pelikan pens tend to really, really like them. I can sort of see why. The nib is so smooth, soooooooo smoooooooooth. But, its not fine enough for me. This is one pen I might consider getting a custom grind on if I ever find myself at a pen show. Even then though, I suspect it would still by only my second favourite German pen. Which pen do I like better? You’ll have to come back next moth to find out.

About Learn Cursive with Lunatic Engine. Each week, until my first book of poetry launches in April 2020, I am going to complete a cursive worksheet featuring lines from the poems in the book with notes on which tool I used. I will post the blank sheets as pdf’s below and here on the full explanation page for you to download, print and complete.
A new lesson with new lines will be added to the complete document so that by the time the book comes out, you’ll have not only had a chance to read a couple of lines from each poem, but you’ll have written them yourself.
So there you have it: Learn Cursive, with lines from Lunatic Engine.
