Description
Two days ago I had a great urge to practice traditional inking (guess I've been reading too much manga hhaha). As it turned out, my old ink (which was not very high quality anyway) had become a diluted, mucky shade of grey, no matter how much I stirred it. With only 20 minutes left until the shops would close, I ran out through the rain to the nearby art shop and bought myself a nice flask of pure-black ink! And it works fantastic! I almost forgot what fun inking is! All of these are based on sketches I made in my sketchbook in the period I was in Leicester and later. We have Millie in the top left corner, running away with a half-eaten biscuit. Then, 3 drawings of my newest character Tobikuma the tanuki (raccoon dog). Various expressions and poses to figure him outInk is so much fun!! Will do more

Thanks! She's very, very happy with her biscuit Millie is the kind of character that enjoys all the little things as much as she can (being a mouse and all, it's something to cherish considering the innumerable dangers facing those small critters). And yes, tanuki! He's my latest character so I draw him a lot to get to know him (his name is Tobikuma).

Woah these look great!
I really like the Tobikuma drawings c:
Perhaps it's a cool idea to also colour these or other ink drawings?
I don't know if that's possible though ;3;

Thank you, glad you like little Tobi haha Yeah I may colour them (digitally, I want to keep this paper the way it is), but they were intended to function as black-and-white in the first place
But I definitely want to experiment with colouring them too as digital inking is still much less fun to do for me so who knows in the future I will make art that way too.
