Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.

If this sub isn’t really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .

    Those are really good. The clair obscure and the hatching to create them are great.

    You want to study etchings,I recommend those by Rembrandt and Gustave Doré. Those are the greatest artists in that technique (imho) and show what you can do…

      Thank you. My Bachelors of Science is in Fine Arts specializing in printmaking so, believe me, I’m more than familiar with those kinds of artists.

        Ah. Well it shows. But had you not I’d think they would have blown your mind.

        A friend of mine curated a Rembrandt etching exhibit and getting told all the intricacies and details is so enlightening and exhilarating.
