Width of lines

I bought the classic book on drawing Rendering in Pen and Ink by Arthur L. Guptill some weeks ago. This is one of the exercises. I used one of my nib pens, the Gillott 404. The goal is to learn to control the hand pressure for creating several line widths.

    • I prefer the left side (I started in there). I don’t know if I changed the pressure at the finish or the pen got some dirty but the final lines are wider.

      Thank you!

      • It is really good. I could probably draw something like that, but would have to do it in pencil because I would make a lot of mistakes and need to erase, again and agian and again. Very brave of you to do it in ink, and very well done!
