Top Reddit reviews mentioning Mixed Media books:
I’ve learnt some Spencerian from Michael Sull, but he has a book that is specifically for American Cursive:
The Art of Cursive Penmanship: A Personal Handwriting Program for Adults https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510730524/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WAQC5RPT21SZ521SDM50?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 which might be a good resource.
Here's the Amazon link: Book
Hi there =) Thanx =)
Its 15cm x 22cm
It was 2 weeks (4h per day).
It was made for a Walter Foster Book, along 5 more arts. (took 7months to finish the content).
I will post more later =)
It’s a pretty difficult subject and not easy to explain, it also has many different types. It also depends on what your trying to draw. And learning style.
I just downloaded the book “The art of perspective: the ultimate guide for artists in every medium” And it looks pretty clear compared to a lot of books I’ve looked at.

What have you tried? I find watching someone helps, so I guess a video guide is one place to look.
I use one point perspective a lot in my paintings. I’d start from there. If you can learn the concept siting angles, eye level, vanishing point and lines of convergence, you can begin build up from there.
Check out a workbook like this.
But for an easy exercise to get started, practice your loops and lines. The foundation of beautiful handwriting is consistency, and this will help standardize the width and slant of your letters.
The Deus Ex prequels are basically cyberpunk.

masamune Shirow made a lot of Cyberpunk art, and I think there are a few compilations online of his lithographies.
R.L. Talsorian also has a series of books called Chrome, about the style of Cyberpunk 2013
The best resource I’ve found is Alphonso Dunn. I bought his books and watch his videos on YouTube. He’s the reason I got into pen and ink to begin with

Based on your other comments, it sounds like you might just need to get a workbook and take the time to practice a specific style. The current American handwriting is just "American Cursive" Michael Sull has a workbook on Amazon called "The Art of Cursive Penmanship" but you could also go with the Palmer Method, which would be what your grandparents or great-grandparents learned depending on your age. There's a link to Palmer in the About/Free, Useful Resources section of this sub.
Mine was abysmal and I took a little bit of time each day to work through a set of 5 Spencerian copybooks I got off of Amazon and it made a huge difference. There are a ton of free printable resources for it though.
Pick a style and spend 10-20 minutes most days practicing. It takes some time to get going, but once you start noticing improvement the payoff is big.
-Captain Falcore covers the lore pretty extensively (YT)
-Tall Tales (obviously)
-there are a couple novels/comic books (Tales from the Sea of Thieves, Athena’s Fortune (free audiobook on the Sea of Thieves channel), and I think the comic books are all on comixology)
No worries. I wouldn't mess with Yul or Telly. Looks like someone has though...
This is a really good book on handwriting for adults.
Exactly. This is how geometry in three dimensions works. Please pick up and read a book
or if you don't like the way reality works, better play 2D MTGO.
I think it's both. As Bill Perkins says (NMA instructor) "don't overrender in the hope of looking good". I've a tendency to do that, probably my inexperience. Thanks for your honesty, it means a lot, I started to draw from the ground-up 2 years and half ago seriously.
I'm currently focusing on texture, volume and line quality with the book "Pen and Ink drawing : A Simple Guide" from Alphonso Dunn : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/0997046538/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm trying to apply to my favorite medium all the light theory I learned about too.
Maybe studies, time and practice will get me at my dream job and being concept artist !
Hey! thanks a lot. She has like 3 different size pens. I've been recommended that brush pen from various people so I will definitely get that.

Yesterday I had a sneak peak at her paper and I'll get her some as well. As well as this book. Thank you so much for the suggestions :D

My girlfriend wants to get into hand lettering and modern calligraphy. I know nothing about it and she's an absolute beginner. I want to get her good guide book for beginners and a pen (or multiple pens?). I found this book to have good reviews. I'm looking for something that would give her a taste of a few techniques. Any help would be appreciated!
I just this minute came to post that I'd realized I was using the wrong nibs for the job. lol
As for the oblique holder, I was just trying it because the calligrapher who writes that section in "Creative Lettering and Beyond: Inspiring tips, techniques, and ideas for hand lettering your way to beautiful works of art" (http://www.amazon.ca/dp/1600583970), recommended the oblique holder so I thought I'd give it a go. I'll return to it later, when I've had more practice.
I'm using a Manuscript nib now (a Round Hand #4) and I'm getting the results I wanted. I have other nibs on order that are also more appropriate for what I want to do.
Thank you so much for your input. Now I just have to learn to load the ink properly. Heading to YouTube.... :)
