Description Another sketch in my dayplanner, this time of a stylized Raydl. I tried to ink in a stormy background, but it didn't work, so I used this instead: [link]

~45 minutes ballpoint pen.

Mmm Thank you! This one was a fun, kind of comic-booky kind of dramatic. Felt good as an experiment.

I really really do like this, there is so much emotion in it ^_^ I often like my doodles but they never come out this cleanly.

In that case I'm glad I got off my lazy butt and finally commented on one of your peices. I've been watching you for a while now, but I rarely make comments, I'm just shy like that. ^_^;;

*chuckles* Awww, thanks. Sorry I haven't been able to upload anything nicer lately I'm actually working on making a finished version of this sketch, but it'll be some time, probably

Heh, yep. My inked background didn't turn out, so I just stuck in a background I painted some time ago.

Aww, hehe, thank you very much! Generally, I do too, but you just have to keep working with the image until it either evolves into something neat, or turns into a giant unintelligible blob of ink

kurouingu In reply to jocarra [2007-03-19 05:51:16 +0000 UTC]

I would be so happy if I could draw in ballpoint pen like this...during lecture, even. -Wistful sigh-. I saw this when I checked your journal and without looking closely at it, I thought that it had been done in PhotoShop. (Thus, the basis of my envy.)

jocarra In reply to indigoellipses [2007-03-21 00:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Aww... Hehe, I used to be quite terrible, and some of my sketches you can probably see are far less developed than others, and are more representative of how all my pen sketches used to be. Anyways, it takes a lot of practice, and you just find ways of shading that become comfortable and fun and doable :3

Well, the background is Photoshop, so you were half right

mizudatsurugi [2007-03-18 01:15:45 +0000 UTC]

i can hear the wind roaring in my ears ^^ the detail is so...detailed? sorry, i can't think of a better adjective because it's so wonderful!! the lines from the planner are almost unnoticeable, and the background suits it perfectly, it feels like you're actually there.
