I drew this whole ghost with one pen. The third one in this lineup, to be precise.
Earlier this week I finished reading a book about lettering and calligraphy. One of the topics of the text was ruling pens, which once upon a time were in common use for drafting and other technical drawing tasks. The tips are adjustable, so each pen is capable of producing a (narrow) range of line widths.
So I used the inks I intended to use last time, varying line thickness between the darker and lighter squares. The Shikiori flowed a bit better than the W&N, the latter producing uneven widths depending on the precise angle of the pen. At least I got the purple I was after.
This drawing is the last in Leaf Ghosts 2, a sketchbook I started more than two years ago.
My original intent was to schedule things so that the final ghost in this book would be #200, and that it would be the end of Ghost Week. Things didn’t work out that way, which is okay.
