This is what I want to create for this project. I think that it would be really cool for a beginner in calligraphy audience to see an exploded view of a calligraphic pen, and since this is one of my very favorite pens ever, I would enjoy making a graphic of it.

This is my initial sketch, I think that I want to focus my efforts on creating all these elements. 

This is my initial drawing, I am doing the outline of the pen, just to start "tasting the waters".

tHere I am in the process of doing the whole illustration, I created some gradients and details on the parts of the pen. 

This is my final poster, I created some other elements in a calligraphic font just to give some accents to the meaning of the piece.  I am really happy with the achieved gradients and details of the pen. Illustrator is indeed an awesome tool!!
