I'm enjoying my inking spree as of late. Its one of the few medias I have had zero experience with and never studied in any of my classes or readings. So its something new that I'm really enjoying. And it feels great to be watercoloring again.

Some interesting points about the pen I use is that its an older model (Pilot G-2 07) that is known for drying slower than desired. Which is problematic if your writing quickly as it causes ink dots on the page before it if your in a book, or smearing (particularly if your left handed). Ironically, I'm left handed.
If you arent' familiar with all the silly pen stuff, its an archival quality pen thats easy to find practically anywhere and is reasonably priced. Its only flaw that gets on my nerves is that it doesn't write well on hard surfaces, so if you have a single piece of paper you want to draw on, it needs to be on top of something else.


Current Projects:
1) Twi Lek: A Study - This should be up by the end of the day. I finished it last night but I feel like I've been imposing on ~RachiruJaganshi by constantly asking if she can scan something for me. Not sure if I should put it in scraps or not since it turned out pretty good. I traced the picture in ink out of my SWRP book and watercolored it to get a better idea of how the watercolor interacts with the pen after nearly a day at varying amount of water ratios, ect. Minimal attention was given to neatness, color, or shading.
2) Clostet Apocalypse - Outline's been done for well over a day, but I don't want any ink bleeding and wanted to do a study before coloring it (which I did). However, I'm not sure which way it should go. I drew it portrait like Drone, but when I rotated it 90 degrees CW it looked really good (maby better). I don't know which way works better, so I'm going to beg for feedback on it.
3) Photo Manipulation, wtf? - As of late I've been having fun practicing any photo minpulation skills I may have with varied stock throughout dA. I might eventually get somewhere with it, who knows really.


Got Tagged!
Got Tagged By: HollowWsaRay
Normally this isn't my cup of tea, but hey, why the hell not?

Rules:
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours.

Six Weird Habits/Things/Hates About Myself:
1) I chew my nails when I'm thinking.
2) I check my door twice before going to sleep or leaving my room to make sure its really locked.
3)I learn concepts better if I'm laying/sitting on: the floor or on a counter/table.
4) My ligaments are so loose that have no way of actually stretching my quads unless I could pull my leg through my body (natural contortionist). This is both a gift and a curse though.
5)Horrible at motivating myself to start and finish things if its supposed to be considered work - even if I like it.
6) I can't remember peoples names or learn new vocabulary well at all.

Next Six People:
1)~Anaphotos
2)~Zethica
3)*twistedkitsune
4)~jaroflard
5)~PixelatedHorror
6)~RachiruJaganshi
