Half-the-Pressure copy

‘Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed’ is the motto of my favourite pencil in the studio and darkroom, the Blackwing, and one which I imagine can apply to most things in life. A classic, loved by animators, writers, composers and artists alike — even Paul Kinsey used one.

My using it may also imply that I can either a) draw or b) write. Wrong.
