Second Stage of Falcon Inks

Here you can see that after additional layers the hatching begins to take on a smoother appearance. I'm deepening up some areas to give shape, but it's a process that will have to develop over time. The blown-out highlight areas still look like painted-on stripes and there's little reflective detail, but you can see where it's going. The main surface of the nib still has only two layers of hatching.
