Expressive Pointed Italic

Description

We start with pencil and monoline italic skeleton letters, then go through pointed pen letters, and end with rhythm and form variations.

Supplies

• Layout sheets (90 g/100) such as Canson XL, Clairfontaine 90g/m2, Rhodia (A3 or A4)
• Mechanical pencil HB (0.3 or 0.5) and eraser
• A gel pen (0.3 or 0.5) or stylographic pen (your favorite one)
• Pen holder (oblique or straight as preferred)
• Pointed nib (I recommend Nikko G but every pointed nib is fine, provided they do not are too flexible.)
• Ink (Chinese stick ink or semi ink or Higgins eternal or similar)
• Dinky dip
