I love using dip pens, although I haven't used them quite often; I still feel I need more practice, but for practical reasons I enjoy them very much.  At least with that you won't run out of ink quickly...not to mention how fun they are

I don't think you can ever have enough practice; they can be tame like mares or wild like stallions.

Another great tutorial!  It's got me wanting to go back and try traditional inking again, it really is more expressive and satisfying.

I didn't spot any typos, but the paragraph: "As much as I praise this book there are certain concerns that doesn't make it friendly to all people", struck me as a bit cumbersome. How about : "As much as I praise this book I have concerns that it may not be user-friendly for everyone" or whatever. I understood what you meant, so I'm just splitting hairs really.

It's nice to see how people approach their work and this gives a good insight into the creation of CRG.

Thank you for your kind words. I do like your phrasing better, thank you! I'll change that today.

Is there a technique in particular you want to see?

Glad you found it useful!

I can't think of a technique at the moment, but I'd love to see you do a sort of " Introduction to Manga" with recommendations, influences etc. - along the same line as your tutorials.
