I would like to present two videos. In the first, a Pininfarina pen in Ethergraf, which leaves a beautiful trace of oxidized metal on the paper so that you can draw. The material with which it was designed and made is solid walnut wood and aluminum. The pen is very well balanced and allows you to act on the Ethergraf tip with great ease and fluidity. But to enhance itself effectively, the pen needs adequate support and it is in the second video that I propose a suitable paper preparation to enhance these characteristics. On this prepared paper any metal stylus has the possibility of achieving greater darkness and therefore a greater artistic performance.

The BIC Cristal pen offers this peculiarity which is considered a defect in other pens: The lack of fluidity in the line. This quality allows complete control over the drawing medium and guarantees an infinite variety of shades.
I would like to get to the possibility of read the construction of the drawing. Sign after sign, until you get to the beginning, to the page, when it was white. Would be a dream.
