Politics, With A Dip Pen

[Even]

I made a political diagram using dip pens and inks on a single delicate sheet of Tomoe River Paper. Check out how small my drawings are!

 

This page shows them off here (and explains the diagram!).

Politics, AND calligraphy? Awesome

 

Good job, and very good classification. Quite innovative.

I like the outcome, and enjoy the attempt at depicting the political space. Thanks!

Tour de force! Any words about the pens & nibs (oh, never mind, the title says "with a dip pen"), and about the techniques to get the shading and washes?

Very interesting. I just hope this doesn't run afoul of the prohibition about politics (and religion, and undue bashing of "The Ink that Shall Not Be Named") on the forums....
