Thank you! I really appreciate that It took a little over a month, but it was because I kept stopping and working on other things (I have to take breaks so it doesn't feel like a chore!).

I do that too, sometimes I'll work till my hand hurts too much and starts to go numb--I think we're supposed to do hang-yoga or something every half hour? but I always forget. Well I sketch things out first with pencil, I used to start with ink only and do everything freehand but I don't do that anymore. I like to work on it with something I can erase so that it can evolve for a while; but that's just the basic outlines and idea of it, when I start to ink it, it's all spontanious and usually becomes something I hadn't even planned. For instance, the sides on this were meant to be trees, and they look like that still but also look like hair which I didn't plan. It always veers from what I originally saw as the patterns and details are added.

Thats very interesting the bit about trees and hair, i can see it clearly. I also start with pencil, unless its totally not meant to be clean..which is rare. I think erasing is a little too important to me And yes evolution of the drawing cant happen without it, like usually only half the idea is in my head so if i did it in pen it would have loads of unwanted lines! Anway, thank you for the insights
