Mr Productive...



Well, inked this up last night and I'm quite pleased, I'm definitely making progress on the inking front, this was primarily inked with a Hunt 107, with the odd assist from a Rotring technical pen, it's a bit scratchy here and there but i think this is due to my quill not being quite 'broken in'. Also tweaked it in photoshop so it's less lopsided. I'll start the colouring tonight, but it's more than likely it won't be up til next tuesday, due to me being off work from thursday onwards. Hope you like it.

Superb inking job, Rich. Her jaw looks a little jowly though, just a touch, maybe the line is a little low on the left of her face there. Apart from that tiny, tiny niggle you've done a great job. I need to get some dip pens...

The whole thing is a little too dense for me in retrospect, particularly the crosshatching on the armour, I need to put in less detail really. The jaw should be a little higher I suspect, I may sort it in photoshop or I may just leave it. Probably best to leave it so I'm constantly reminded of it and don't do it again!
Got a load of new dip pens in the post today, trying out some Gillotts, but got a load of Hunt 102s as I'm convinced the one I'm using isn't working properly.
Cheers for your comments dude.
