Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

That's so cool! I'm impressed at how sharp your lines are with a dip pen (so presumably ink) on homemade paper. I would have expected it to feather a lot
Due to how handmade paper works in general... The amount of feathering varies wildly from page to page. From my testing (it's only been a few days so take it with a grain of salt) I've found it's best to use a nib size a little smaller than you actually want to use. That way if it feathers out it turns into the size you want to use.
