So, speaking of light tables... I've been thinking of trying out Erica's method of writing pointed pen on a slant!
I learned broad pen on a slant of course, but all the pointed pen instruction I've ever read calls for a flat surface, and a particular way of resting the forearm on the table. However, I've noticed how much easier it is to flourish when I have a slight incline!
Has anybody else tried this? I have a harder time maintaining consistency of slant when working on a tilted surface, but I really like the free arm movement for drawing flourishes.
I don't know if I'm ready to invest in another slanted light table (I left mine in the States in one of my parents' garages, and now one one knows where it is...
but I'm definitely intrigued by E's innovation!
Ellen, didn't you say you've been using a slanted light table too?
