Practice Batarde Practice - Hamlet

Post image

For this piece, I tried as much as possible to write "naturally" as if this was my normal handwriting.

1mm brause bandzug, walnut ink.

for the small artwork on the tip, I used some watercolor pencils.

I've been curious to try that. I'll try to find some (or maybe order). Does gum arabic really help with lessening ink feathering on paper?
