Inking is often a double-edged sword. "Sword", in this metaphor, means "task", and "edge" means "nights spent on it". But it's not as if it's an unpleasant task, though, just time-consuming. I notice that most art streams I join tend to be about inking -- either because it's the most time-consuming part of the job, or because coloring and shading is less eye-catching.

Inking is great streaming material, though. You get to literally see form and feature leap out of a haphazard sketch, breathing life into a drawing. And when you get really into it, the high is amazing, much more than coloring or shading. There's a lot less questioning my own technique and ability in inking, nowadays, than in coloring or sketching. And yet, there's still so much to learn.

I'll be streaming at 6:30 PM ET at the usual:
