[split] Jorge's Retracer Thread: darker ink, retracing of text and drawings

[oshfdk]

Surely you can see thousands of similar and better examples.   Your theory is that those are all cases where the Scribe went back on his work and retraced those isolated glyphs, with reloaded pen.  Right?

No, I believe that overwhelmingly the different ink density has something to do with the ink itself. If the ink can abruptly change from very dark to faint mid stroke, it can obviously change between isolated glyphs. As a parallel, there are examples of similar effects You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (I think @MarcoP found them):

   

Poorly made ink can behave erratically, there is nothing extraordinary about this and from my point of view no other explanation for this varying ink density is necessary.
