I done gone traditional!

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?

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

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.

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.

That they do yes!!! :)
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.
