219 Short Shadow

Sometimes I like to imagine that letters are vertical, stand-alone figures that can cast a shadow.  Here, in Short Shadow, they look like they do.  

Write this in four stages; 

1. First write the simple black letters [here they are Roman but you can choose any style].  
2. Add a pencil guideline halfway up the letter height.  
3. Add pencil lines at an angle (60° here) so the shadows will all follow the same slant. 
4. Write the slanted lines using gray ink. 

If your black ink is water-soluble, or if your gray ink is opaque, you may need to reverse the sequence.
