Ink Test…

A small-ish, not really important one, because….well, just because. :P
I’ve been drawing tons lately (gave up Idleness for Lent, plus it relieves constant boredom of a slow freelance time and no ‘real’ job), so I hope to update this place a little more. ^__^;; Thank you for sticking around this far.

Recently, I switched back to using Japanese nib pens for inking, as they’re so much easier on my hands than Sakura Pigma Microns. I used to use them a long time ago, and really, I don’t remember why I stopped. *lol* In the long run, my whole arm gets sore, but it’s nothing compared to the shooting pains I’ll get when using microns. Go fig.

Anyways. Doing lots of random ink-tests to figure the learning curve. Please bear with me. ^__^;;;;;;;;

I’ve Got the Yipps….

I think I really do.
Begging pardon to use an HIMYM reference (LOVE this show), I’ve been thinking waaaaay too hard about what I need to do to do things and so it’s stopping me from actually getting it done. TT3TT
Bleh.

Doodles done while catching up with an old friend. :)

I recently had to get a new scanner (today’s the first day I used it and I’m already in love). It plays a little midi tune while it scans. ……so now if I scan an image, I feel like I’m running through an Overworld map in an old rpg or something. ^__^;;; Oh, it’s the little things that make me happy…
