In this video I'm going learn from on of my favorite artists: Jacques (also know as Jacob) de Gheyn II. I'm going to copy his little drawing of a frog, and use what I've learned to do my own version. Along the way, I'm going to talk about the value of copying, give you a little art history lesson, talk about materials and techniques, and of course, provide some useful tips and tricks to help you improve your own work.
I'm using a Pilot 743 FA, with an ebonite feed from the Flexible Nib Factory, filled with Rohrer & Knigner Sepia ink. I'm working on a beautiful handmade paper, made by St. Armand paper mill. I'm also using a TWSBI ECO filled with De Atramentis Document White.
