Description Another attempt in my effort to figure out how to best render drapery in ink.  This was done with a Hunt 101 nib (for the thicker lines), a Zebra G nib (for most of the hatching), a 2/0 brush (for the thick, dark areas), and a 0.2 Copic multiliner for some touch up. You can click to view an oversized version, if you really want to examine the lines.

Once again, I found a great reference photo in the amazing gallery of .
