Ink doodles (2014–2018)

More ink doodles from 2014 through 2018. These were done with a Pilot G-2 0.38mm gel pen. While I like how I can make tiny writing with Pilot Hi-Tec C pens, I find the G-2 0.38mm pens to be more practical: they create lines fine enough for my taste, but they’re not so fine that I have issues with the tips clogging. It also helps that they’re easier to find in typical office supply stores and are cheaper.

I do like using ink, but I’m even more conservative drawing in it (i.e., I draw even more disembodied heads than usual). (Maybe someday I’ll get a knack for inking over pencil.) Beyond the typically similar content, I noticed that I unintentionally used much of the same layout in these two sheets for the placement of dragon heads, orc heads, smoke, and background practice.

NaNoDrawMo 2012 doodles, part 2

The second half of my NaNoDrawMo 2012 doodles. This includes my first attempt at doing a realistic drawing in almost 9 years. I probably should just stick to lettering.
