* Inking is a lot harder than I remember it was.
* Putting the cap on the other end of the marker may help steady the marker.
* Getting the mouth right ain't easy. I tried many times to draw it in pencil, and when it comes to inking you've got only one shot to trace it correctly.
* Humidity may make your hand stick to the paper a little, which makes inking long lines at a constant velocity difficult. So turn on the air conditioner when inking?

I hear ya. Inking can be a real pain sometimes all because you only have one shot. Screw up even remotely and you gotta start ALL over or ignore the mistake. I never had a humidity problem. Probably because I always turn on the fan in my room. Anyway, everything's coming along nicely.

ChocoCats:
That picture isn't bad for an inking drawing. Those are a pain to work with. I recommend that you use an ink pen instead because it's easier to work with and they're thinner, too. Shading is similar to pencil except you have to be neat with the lines.

altuixde:
Thanks, you two.

ChocoCats - By an ink pen, do you mean something like a Pilot Precise? Or a fountain pen?
