Scroll #3
Scroll #3 completed. I was able to play with the lighting effects in post to make it look sort of like the pictures I have seen of existing scrolls of the period. What I learned after the first one is that you never erase the pencil lines on the parts that haven't been written yet to help out the person who is finishing it in case that person isn't you (or even in case that person is you).
Unlike my costuming efforts, which focus for the most part on the 16th century, I have been working on calligraphy and illumination styles that date to around the turn of the first millenium and a little later. I'm determined to keep working on it until I get the hand looking right.
