Nice! Though the detail in the body isn't top notch, it's way better than what I could do though!

Thanks my pen ran out of ink once I got to the body.

Lol, that can happen Then real good job my good sir.

Thanks again and yes pens can run out of ink. I normally use either my .5 or .35 millimeter rapidograph. It's designed to be an art pen because it has a really small point. Only thing I don't like about using pen is one mistake ruins everything.

I think that's why people like pencil and graphic art a lot.

 

What if you used a pencil to draw, then outlined with a pen? Wouldn't that improve quality? (Not efficiency if you don't have to restart a lot)

I always use pencil before using my more permanent art tools but thanks anyways.

Didn't know sorry I should have assumed.
