lgsoltek Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Since there's a thread for sheen, I think we can have a thread of showing shading (or the lack of shading) as well! http://s1.homezz.com/201501/5915/49290_o.jpg http://s2.homezz.com/201501/5915/49289_o.jpg http://s1.homezz.com/201501/5915/49288_o.jpg http://s1.homezz.com/201501/5915/49287_o.jpg http://s1.homezz.com/201501/5915/49286_o.jpg All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites

lgsoltek Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 On second thought, I should have shown only the ones with great shadings and left out the ones that don't shade. All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites

jmccarty3 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Ii liked seeing them all--it's a great demonstration of the different degrees of shading. Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967. Link to post Share on other sites
Ambrose Bierce Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I think Pelikan Edelstein Topaz has some nice shading http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MOHoZfnM-S8/VLGI_EcPiMI/AAAAAAAAAI0/8UeZ9Y4jndI/s1600/DSCN0214.JPGhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cqCwxhR9QS8/VLGJKaTDiWI/AAAAAAAAAJI/H4lqNItXZNs/s1600/DSCN0216.JPGhttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j09U8PXTo7Y/VLGJMtLPtkI/AAAAAAAAAJY/oYkZUQI_3gU/s1600/DSCN0218.JPG I am the artist formally known as Ambrose Bierce (I recently changed my username from that).

Stu L Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Fantastic pic. This is maybe a stupid question, but why do the letters all change shade at the same height? Link to post Share on other sites

lgsoltek Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Fantastic pic.This is maybe a stupid question, but why do the letters all change shade at the same height?The ink pools where the stroke ends, thus the shadings. But the amount of ink that pools depends on the ink and how wet the pen writes. All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews Link to post Share on other sites
Stu L Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So, the pool runs back along the stroke from the end, and as the strokes all end at the page lines, the shade change happens at the same height further up? Link to post Share on other sites
Intellidepth Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Oh no. Another drool-worthy thread that shall inevitably add to my collection of inks. This is awesome! Thank you. I find that shading dimensions even with the same pen can change depending on speed, length/width of stroke etc. Noodler's Konrad Acrylics (normal+Da Luz custom flex) ~ Lamy AL-Stars/Vista F/M/1.1 ~ Handmade Barry Roberts Dayacom M ~ Waterman 32 1/2, F semi-flex nib ~ Conklin crescent, EF super-flex ~ Aikin Lambert dip pen EEF super-flex ~ Aikin Lambert dip pen semi-flex M ~ Jinhao X450s ~ Pilot Custom Heritage 912 Posting Nib ~ Sailor 1911 Profit 21k Rhodium F.

bstnnyc Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I was just writing with Kobe #13 (Nunobiki Emerald) and loved the shading combined with the beachy color so I thought I would share with fellow shade-a-holics http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f99/emrys1221/photo_zpsnpu65bev.jpg Edited February 8, 2015 by bstnnyc Link to post Share on other sites
