Friedrich Poppl's Ruling Pen Minuscule 2
This is a close up section of a rendering of the Latin phrase "verba docent, exempla trahunt" which means "words instruct, illustrations lead."
This illustration emulates the Ruling Pen Minuscule 2 script of German calligrapher Friedrich Poppl. His font dates from the 1960s. I am creating this work on an iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil in the Adobe Draw app and opened in Photoshop to create texture and embossing. This is a work in progrss, so I am not sure how it will conclude. I envision a poster and in a different color.
Apart from admiring Poppl's work, I admire his determination. Here is a short piece on Poppl's challenging life as an amputee and prisoner of war.
