Inspired by the triangular rubber pencil grips and architectural buildings, the twisted shape of Ink's hydroformed aluminum body provides an ergonomically perfect grip that enables a more nature and precise drawing. Not only is the form functional, but it was built with exceptional focus on how the highlights hit the surface by fine tuning surface continuity.
