  Slipping back into the inkwellOct 04, 2013 11:32 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Today went like this:

And then I figured well heck I might as well just ink it. : P So I did. Definitely easier to do heavy shadows this way... And what I learned from working in pencil alone was spending the time to get the pencils right--whereas before when I was also inking I left the pencils very loose and figured I'd just resolve all the drawing problems while inking...which often caused more, un-erasable problems--so that allowed today's inks to be very tight and precise, and somewhat to my surprise that actually helped me avoid boo-boos. Doing all the little hairs on the towel kind of killed my arm, but eh we'll lose the towel as soon as possible. >_>
 
We'll see how long I can keep this up. I *am* still putting up the original art for each new page on eBay, starting at $0.99, just like the pencil-drawn pages--the link to the auction is in gold letters under the page graphic--the auction for today's original inked piece is here, by the way--so if you were looking to get an inked piece from me, this is probably your chance to pick one up for a song. Please, please do--I want to get these out to people.

There were actually three very specific artistic inspirations for this sudden return to ink today and I'll try to go into that tomorrow.
