Pen Craft
Now that you know a bit more about the pen craft, here are a few things to apply (or not!) in class.
Do
- Practice as much as you can.
- Use dotted or squared paper.
- Develop an eye for simplicity of lines.
- Use ultra fat felt tips for writing on display boards.
Don't
- Sketch with a flurry of light feathery lines.
- Rush. Just a tad longer makes a great difference
- Use you normal handwriting script. Stick to printing.
- Use too many colours. Keep it simple.
Try
- Keep a small sketchbook with you.
- Trace complex images, reducing to simple lines.
- Different pens and pencils, even a digital tablet.
- Create icons based on the simplest of forms.
