Don't poke him... squids wake up cranky.

DragonCon doodle, colored in Gimp.

I need to work on blending, but I hate that smudge tool. I did this with a hard-edged brush on low opacity and color-picking. Any suggestions?

  Smudge tool has it's uses, it's not really good for shading. I do so love your squid drawings.

  Even hated tools can be useful from time to time. ;) But yeah, it drove me nuts, so I abandoned it. And thank you!

  You know you want to poke...

And do, anytime, Meg likes crits! Do not feel obligated, though. Viewing the cuteness is free.

Poking it is not. :D

  aw. The blending looks pretty top notch to me--to be honest, I blend like that too. ^^ If you use a soft brush you might get results closer to your intention, but I've never used Gimp, so I have no clue.

  Oh, now you've done it. Ink is impossible to get out. Who's going to pay for my dry cleaning??

Thanks for the tip! Gimp has soft brushes too, so I'll give that a try. :)

  I think your shading is fine actually. The way you did it empasizes the squishy texture.

I tried to resist using that word, but squish is so...apt. :)
