Description
An experiment using eraseable crossword pen for outlines to an ink portrait done with cheap fountain pens, with rather mixed results.
The erasing quality of the crossword pen is not good enough to draw with at all and smudges the picture, especially if one puts water resistant ink over or near it.
Inspired by Ukrainian singer Zlata Ognevich, the drawing depicts Gülperi, a young woman in the middle-eastern fantasy kingdom the Kiralate, inspired by the Mamluk Sultanate IRL.

Tools:
Pilot Frixion crossword pen
Preppy fountain pen 0,2 6 &,5 mm
Pentel brush pen
Posca white pen

Part of the Aratauma world project
