Penciled and inked entirely by hand on paper, with a mechanical pencil and a Hunt No.102 dip pen. The first time I've ever made a completed, inked drawing on paper. Now, as you can see, there are some boo-boos, but it went amazingly smooth for a first time (I don't usually show you guys first times.) :)
Actually, I daresay it was about as easy as digital inking. I'll probably be doing this a lot--it's nice to have it on an actual piece of paper (or, more accurately, in one of my sketchbooks) and I spend too much time on the computer anyway. So I'm pretty excited about it!
What do you think?

Here's another! Yeah, looks like somebody just got her out of bed. :grin:
This one turned out rather better, ink-wise. Should've checked the pencils more before inking, though--some of the anatomy is a bit...off. :roll:
Also, I need to start drawing these someplace other than my sketchbook--the paper in this thing reacts strangely to the ink. It gets these tiny little soaky threads around the lines. You can't see it in the scans except as a vague blurriness.

Sometimes it's fun to draw basically the same thing over, refining it. Still kinda bleah, but lots better than the last one.

It is a step up from the other, in my opinion.

Hey traditional ain't bad. I kinda like it myself. Very nice Cam.

I like the look of pencil and ink. I use a .05 archival ink pen by Sakura for inking, but it works wonderfully.

also, the ink soaking into the threads in the paper happens to me too, but not through the whole thing, and it can be annoying.

These two drawings are awesome.

I was thinking of a hospital bed. That wouldn't be out of place in your world, would it? Didn't you create a fur in a wheelchair?
