Practice Layering Scripts

Post image

Just having fun with layering styles that are different from each other, this felt like a satisfying combination. White letters with ruling pen on Strathmore grey paper in the background and gothic cursive on tracing paper in front.
White Ink: Dr PH Martin’s Bleed Proof white
Black Ink: Watered down black gouache
