Here is an overall view when I was working on the Reverse Lettering which proceeded as follows, 1st, light writing using 4H lead, 2nd, stylize using 8H, 3rd, darken outlines with 4H, 4th, ink the outline using 6x0 Rapidiograph, Last, fill all areas around lettering with Ballpoint Pen.

Here is a closer view of the Reverse Lettering, very time consuming, I used a 6x0 Rapidiograph for the outlining of these letters, the lettering is just a stylized version of my natural freehand writing.
