Jewelry Desining- Working with Rotring Pen

Day9 to day 15-
As we are perfect with the basic patterns of jewelry, we take a step ahead and learn something more interesting. Before we start with the next chapter we need some stationery like Rotring pen, Black ink, Inject sheet, Mount board, A4 Tracing sheet, clips and mix template.
Another thing to keep in mind is how to use the rotring pen? As this pen is very delicate we need to take care of few things while using it.
• Before pouring the ink in cartridge, it should be well cleaned and dry.
• The cartridge bottle should be filled at ¼ level.
• Before using the pen it should be shake well, but very delicately.
• The tip of the pen should be well cleaned before and after working.
• If the pen is not being used for more than 5 days then the pen should cleaned well. The ink should be transferred back to the ink bottle and should be well cleaned with the water. Make sure the pen tip is also cleaned with water. It should be well dried in shade and on a soft base.
Now coming back to the learning part, on the inject sheet draw different shapes with the help of the mix template. Now using the rotring pen over these shapes. The movement of the pen should be in flow and no over lapping should be there. The movement of the pen should be very soft.
On the other side start using tracing sheet to trace some good design from any jewelry design book. This helps one person to have a good flow in designing part, along with the drawing part.
The very next step is to trace out the designs from tracing sheet to the inject sheet. The traced designs on the sheet need to be given a perfect, proportional shape with the pencil and then do the rotring pen on it. Along with this we need to draw symmetrical image in the inner side of the original image maintaining equal distance with rotring pen. The inner lines should not be wide at all. This chapter is the most important of all as this will help with designing and it will help you from scratch till the end of jewelry designing and this is the main base of jewelry designing.
