From 2012.

Just getting the feel of tablet drawing. Heck, just getting the feel of drawing, period. There’s only so far one can go reading tutorials and watching streams. Sooner or later, ya gotta draw.

So. One night, while practicing eyes and tails and hats and fezzezezezes, this head appeared in a corner of the canvas. Then a spine line followed. That’s as far as I got before I broke from anything resembling fundamentals. Doing It Right gave way to Getting It Done. Next time, I promise.

Even with stroke smoothing aids, freehand inking is going to require a ton of practice and muscle memory. In the meantime, especially with Secret and company, it looks like the path tool is my friend.
