Added 1 new A* page:Hm well this page was a lesson in tightening up vs staying loose. Some of the blow-by-blow :P:

My third pencil sketch (I didn't take a photo of the first) was finally nice and loose yet still a pretty solid construction, so that was good. When I went to ink it though I tightened up ("ooh this is for real now") and first the hair came out all weirdly jittery, and then the eyes lost their original idea, and even the ear got all stiffened up and dull. Got to have the guts to go in loose with ink! Well anyway I hadn't so then I spent a long time trying to get some of the original meaning back into the eyes, and then the hair and the ear, too. There must be twelve layers of ink just over that one darn eye! :P
 
Huh you know now that I look at it again though, what probably didn't help was the pencils being quite so messy, I should have cleaned those up just a bit and then maybe I would have had enough confidence to go right in with ink the right way. Welllll we'll see if any of this learning experience helps come tomorrow. Some day I'll be able to get things right the first time like Kim Jung Gi.
 
EDIT: Nope that eye is just still not right, face looks better without it, it gets the chop. Rrr!
