Not to be insulting, but many times I've thought that Toby is a woman (shame on me...).

I'm glad I helped inspire you! Don't worry, you're not annoying at all, I like to talk to people.
Hm, tips? For pens, I usually ink with a regular bic ballpoint but do details (faces, hands, knotwork) with an 01 Micron pen.
The best advice I have is to just practice practice practice, I guess. I know it's what everyone says, but it's true. If you see a style you like, try to copy something from that artist. The next time you go to draw something of your own, a little of that style will have rubbed off on you. The same goes with drawing from life: if you draw people from life over and over, then when you finally sit down to draw your characters, you'll remember bits from that and they'll end up looking better.
Hope that helps!

Yep, I'm at art school, a senior at RISD going for my BFA in illustration. I've been drawing since I was very little (I think it was mostly drawings of puppies and horses back then...). I've done a few illustrations for magazines, and I'm just starting a job at a game lab at MIT as an artist for one of their computer games.

Awesome. You're at where I hope to be soon. I always saw myself doing concept art or something... but I hope to work at Pixar some day. At least, that's my fantasy- a stupid little dream. :/
