Description This started out as one of many practice sketches I've been doing as part of a larger project (guess that cat's out of the bag). I liked this one so much I decided to do more with it; I inked the pencil sketch, blew it up on a photocopier, then traced the lines back out on a clean sheet of paper. This is also my very first attempt at a completely traditional piece; no digital editing whatsoever.

Sharpie "extra-fine" marker and Faber-Castell watercolour pencils on 19# copier paper.

Shanka is a Tikedi from Oros in the webcomic Prophesy of the Circle: Tangent by talon333. He tends to be quiet and introspective but lacks his brother's confidence which causes him to balk rather than take action when he needs to.

Thanks ^_^

You have any idea how hard it is to do any kind of detail work with a sharpie?
