Tips for squaring the top? (Copperplate)
A complete beginner. I can’t figure out how to square the tops, most of the time they’re too round. Books tell me to draw a top line, press down so the left tine opens, then pull down, but it’s almost like the tine catches and doesn’t open all the way, or when it does, deposits too much ink hence rounding the top. Using Nikko G. Would appreciate any tips.
