On Bee Super Deluxe paper, sprinkled Bister powders (red, yellow, blue and brown) and with a 6.0 Parallel pen dipped in water wrote out the quote in Liesbet's "Zeep" style of writing. Shadowed letters with a .02 Micron pen. When dry, misted with water and wrote out the quote agin with a Zig Writer and some Bleed Proof white ink.

Apparently there's a website that creates an exercise for you... LetteringMaker.com

Using the criteria I decided on a ribbon format for the Logotype. Used a 3.0 Parallel pen and Sumi ink. Then drew my ribbon around it and colored with Prisma colored pencils - the 70's using bright green, turquoise, sunshine yellow, orange and brown.

Size: 6.5"h x 10"w

On 110# misc cardstock wrote out the words using every size of Parallel pen and Sumi ink in a Perspective view. Used Prisma colored pencils in the negative areas. Wrote out the rest of the text with a Zig writer.

I was in  mood to do a circle piece and I thought to use Uncial instead of my normal Blackletter style... I'm also using a technique I came across through Annette Wichmann from Kensington Art Supply, by @DanaPiazza who double loads his color by dropping ink into the small hole in the nib area...

On Arches 90# HP w/c paper drew my circles with a Helix Circle Ruler. Used a 2.4 and 3.8 Parallel pen. 

Outer layer with deAtrmantis ink "Cyan blue" dropping in Rapidograph "White" waterproof ink. Filled in the negative spaces with a red Tombow marker.

Inside layer with Pilot Red and the Rapidograph white ink. Outlined with a blue Tombow marker.

Middle layer with the blue Tombow marker and lettered with a .05 Micron pen.
