These images show some of the more common problems that may arise as you make your initial lines and marks.

A & G: Blobs at the start and end of a line are caused by pressing too hard, bringing the pen into contact with the wood too suddenly, or moving the pen across the surface too quickly.

B, C & J: Scorch marks during a line can be caused by inconsistent speed or moving through areas of wood grain/figure with different heat resistance qualities.

D & K: Pressing too hard as you move a writing nib across the wood can cause it to snag, catch, or jump as you draw.

E: Shading nibs can create scorch marks and uneven lines if not moved at a constant speed and pressure.

F: Thin scratchy lines are caused by low temperature setting and/or light pressure.

H: A longer line in sections that do not match up or flow well can be caused by rushing as you work.

I: Sometimes, the issue is as simple as trying to create a straight line with an inappropriate nib.

L: Using a temperature setting that is too high can cause dark scorched lines.

M: Uneven shading can be caused by rushing your work, moving the nib at inconsistent speeds, spending too long in certain areas, or differences in the surface qualities of the wood due to the figure/grain.

N: Pressing too hard while shading can create harsh depressions or burns.
