One of the most fun parts of this shift to pen is getting to work deeper contrast. When I worked in pencil, scans were muddy and dusty--the difference in saturation between a fleck of dust or an erased line messed with the clarity of the picture.
Giving up the ability to erase mistakes for the ability to put down much denser blacks is an interesting tradeoff. I can only hope I can take some of what I'm learning and also apply it to later pencil work.
