As a kid my parents had this huge drafting table with an assortment of
heavy and light weight papers, ink pots, and fountain pens. My dad would
often use it specifically for drawing and sketching, while my mom would
practice elaborate cursive handwriting on onion skin paper.
My mom often let me play with the ink pens to practice handwriting and
with hours of practice and patience I developed a deep love of
calligraphy!
