Faux calligraphy mimics traditional calligraphy using a sketch pen by drawing and filling in thicker downstrokes manually. Here's how to do it:

1. Write Normally: Write the word in cursive with a regular pen.
2. Identify Downstrokes: Wherever your pen moved down, draw a second line parallel to the original stroke.
3. Fill in the Gaps: Shade in the space between the lines to create a thicker stroke.

This technique gives the appearance of calligraphy without special tools.

Fountain Pen Ink:
- Water-based, thinner, less pigmented.
- Designed for smooth flow in fountain pens, safe for daily writing.

Calligraphy Ink:
- Thicker, more pigmented, often acrylic-based.

Fountain pen inks are designed for smooth, everyday writing with thinner, fluid ink, while calligraphy inks are thicker, more pigmented, and ideal for artistic work using dip pens or specialized calligraphy tools.
- Ideal for artistic writing with dip pens, not suited for fountain pens due to clogging.

Personal handwriting styles evolve over time due to various factors, including individual development, environmental influences, and changing writing habits. Handwriting styles often change as people age. Children's handwriting tends to be less refined and more variable, while adults often develop a more consistent and mature script. This is partly due to fine motor skill development.
