2nd of Inktober
I still feel like death. I wonder if it’s obvious.

I am so pleased you do! I rarely do it outside of inktober, so I'm glad people aren't just here for the colours :3!
-
I know what you mean...........I honestly prefer B&W and inks, but they rarely get attention outside of Inktober it seems! (There should seriously be more than my faves on these things, because they're that awesome!) :)
I think it's awesome how you do clothing patterns with the lines and hatching and all--so old school and unappreciated in today's digital age, but it's the art I grew up with! :D
-
Honestly, if it wasn't for Inktober I think I too would be neglectful of lines and inking techniques - one of the great things about the challenge is that it's really been forcing me to think about it in a different way, as it's own standalone, entirely finished thing rather than just lines with which to contain colour, if that makes sense

I'm good with hatching and stippling.........but when it comes to using patterns to make clothing and colors, my ink skills start to suffer--so I try to do what I can with just hatching and stippling. I have a friend who can do patternwork like from a screentone sheet all by hand--it's amazing!
If I had an artistic job choice, I'd love to just be an inker............so, a few friends have let me ink their art for them and it's been tons of fun. And in the past couple years, I discovered a lovely Japanese brush pen that I can buy at Michaels and Hobby Lobby (an actual pen that works like a real inking brush!!!)--which lets me do a lot of portable things that I don't have to drag a brush and inkwell out for. :)

One of my pens for inking is a brush-tipped one too - it can create lovely effects! It's th'one I used for the big, shaky outlines of 'Worry"
Stippling is so time consuming - I seriously admire the patience of anyone who can do it!
-
I know! Sometimes I do get lazy and use a bigger tip pen in my stippling—just to cover more area faster! XD
I love using my brush pen for hair and fur, because I can get some really feather-light strokes with it! :)
