6.1. Burning Techniques

• Long Strokes: For consistent lines and darker tones, draw slowly and steadily. Drawing too fast may result in faded lines.
• Shading: Use broader nibs or adjust temperature for lighter or darker shading effects. Experiment on scrap material first.
• Stippling: Use a fine-point nib to create dots for texture and shading.
