I have an obsession over all things "unplugged". There was so much ingenuity in making life easier for the domestic diva. I've been collecting some of these old kitchen tools and I use them. They're easier to use, easier to clean and take up a lot less space than our new fangled counter top appliances. Sometimes and egg beater is just an egg beater and that's all ya really need.
My technique, though time consuming, is simple. I start with a preliminary sketch in graphite. When my design is satisfactory, I ink the sketch, using a black, 05, pigma micron pen. I use Prismacolor pencils. Each area is a layering of about 5 different colors, going from dark to light, until the paper is totally burnished. Once the coloring is complete, I re-ink to make the line work a true black. It is then sprayed with workable fixatif to seal, protect and prevent wax bloom.
