Dip pen with a broader nib – quite a different drawing experience.  It seems to require a very controlled, deliberate stroke, and I made a bit of a mess of the hair before I grasped that.

The drawing is elongated because I thought I’d be less likely to blotch it if I didn’t use an easel.

I really like the different qualities of line – the width of stroke and depth of colour – that are produced.  I’m pleased with the colour of the ink for portraits, too.
