Mark Twain Face and Quote

Description

I came across something like this (same quote and still twain, I just used it as a ref to draw him and write).

The figure is drawn with a modified Camlin Rego Fountain Pen. The original fine tip was cut by me (yesterday) and reground to a "Terminator Style" broad nib. Most of the strokes were done with the pen near 90 degrees, to achieve a superfine line. The ink is Higgins Fountain Pen India Ink, Non-waterproof and black.

The words are written with the same fountain pen. The ink is Noodler's Apache Sunset. If you look at the color of the writing, you will see variation in the color of each letter and each line. It is subtle, but goes from a deep orange to a dark yellow. The overall effect is gradual and constantly shifting to produce the "sunset" effect.

and wheee first time I'm posting drawings, because normally mine are really quite bad.
