Just finished these for an assignment in my handlettering class. I used a Rapidograph in a size three, filled with Koh-i-nor ink. Sadly, when I did the alphabets, I was fall down tired, and when I did the lettering on the pages, the Bristol actually caused feathering. So as much as I love Rapidograph tech pens, the recommended Koh-i-noor ink feathers on plate bristol too much to use at this point. Have you guys had better results with other inks? If so, please let me know!
I decided to do a little something different on both pangram panel sets. The Wizards pangram was inked in brush and fude pen, and the Fill my box pangram was inked in nib (yeah! I know! It kept cutting my paper though, and causing feathering) and has an inkwash. I was really trying to push the tone, composition, and storytelling of the Fill my Box pangram, and I hope that came across. With both pangrams, I was experimenting with the whole single image split over two panels to imply a change in focus and the passage of time. Whee, look at me, handlettering, playing around with panels, AND a change up in my inking tool of choice. Scary and impressive (well, to me).
