Tool tips

The profile of your pen tip, obviously, affects both the width

of the line you burn as well as what type of texture or stroke

patterns that is most appropriate to that tip.

As you work your practice board, try each tip profile that you

have for each of the texture and fill strokes that you may be using

on your project.

A crosshatch pattern made with the micro writing tip will

create a pale, thin lined, open checkering design. Using the

standard writing tip that same crosshatching will look like a

pen and ink illustration with bolder lines. Wide basket-weave

strokes are made using a spoon or square shader and that same

crosshatch fill pattern.

1

Standard tip.

The standard writing tip provides a medium-sized

line that can easily handle temperature ranges from extremely

pale through almost black toned burns.

2

Medium square.

The shader tip makes large, wide strokes,

best used for even-colored fill areas. A medium square shader is

shown here.

3

Micro writer.

With its extra-fine point, the micro writer can be

used to create extremely fine, pale tonal textures, adding names

and dates, and used to create a fine line outline stroke.
