P L E A S E   N O T E :
This section features a personal and subjective approach. It is not the only way, nor even a normal way. It is my way and may not necessarily be your way. It also requires more advanced pen skills than earlier sections. For any of these reasons feel free to take this section with a pinch of salt. Having said that, I hope you'll find it inspiring.

A point not mentioned in the movie instruction:
At large sizes and with fast pen strokes, it's better to work on a flat table rather than a slanted board. Working flat facilitates the richer ink-flow necessary for fast strokes.
