1. Yes. George Tuska. Beautiful, beautiful pencils. Almost painting with his lead -- but a bear to ink!2. Carefully! I talked to George Perez about this once, and he said his approach would have been to use a very fine pen or brush and ink every line. My approach was more in the direction of thinking of the thousand lines as if they were one, and looking at the contours and variations, and trying to mimic those. 3. Control! In my yoot, I too was a "thousand line" man, but I conditioned myself to make sure most of those lines overlapped, and became one line. 4. Very likely! I used to grip my pencil so hard that the callous on my finger was the size of a pea! I have relaxed a lot over the years, as I have learned to put fewer lines into each line. Now I try to hold my pencil as lightly as possible (while still maintaining control) and sweep the lines across the panel, drawing as much with my wrist as with my fingers.
