ocelotina inks

OMG. Inks?!

I was cursed with a shaky hand, and an even shakier confidence in my linework. So inking my work has never been something I like to do. There have been attempts, but none that were completely satisfactory.
But I've really wanted some clean lines to color under. So I decided "Hey, why not try that new-fangled digital inking?" I tried it once a couple years ago, to disastrous results.
But, this time, it turned out pretty darn okay. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I'm kind of getting the hang of it. At least I didn't decide to start with a piece full of crazy nouveau hair.
It's something that's gonna take some getting used to. I still need to work on weights and all that. But it's something I want to keep at.

There's a download for anyone who wants to practice colors.
