When drawing in pen and ink, what gets inked first?
Anita describes how she inks a botanical plate:
After tracing the habit of the plant and drawing all the details asked for by the scientist, I gather all the items and arrange them in my format of 24 cm x 36 cm, taking much care with the composition. Because I do not work with a computer and everything is done by hand, I try to avoid overlaps. This is because later on, after the drawing has been scanned, some elements of the drawing may be re-used in another format…
