Thanks!

Thank you!

I'm happy with how that came out too! Thanks!

Hi! So glad you like it!

My process isn't anything special. I work from reference photos, either that I've taken myself or else that a friend has sent me. I have it on my computer monitor and draw it from there. Usually I'm set up on a little desk easel in front of the monitor. I get the rough outlines down in mechanical pencil, and then ink using a dip pen and a bottle of India ink. All lines freehand, no tracing or rulers. Very controlled and processized, not a lot left to chance or mad flurries of excitement. And I'll usually have an audiobook on in the background.

I love this style of art! I didn't know Tsukioka Yoshitoshi though, thanks for sharing!

YOU'RE lovely!

Thanks so much! I am twerking my appreciation in your direction now.

Thank you! It's a weird hobby but I seem to spend all my free time just painstakingly drawing parallel lines...

Really amazing work! It's so hard to get a face right live against the clock. It's beautiful -- bravo!

Thank you! She's someone I especially wanted to get right so I'm happy this went well.

What a lovely thing to read. Thanks for making my day!

Thank you so much! On the lovely human front, can confirm: she is.
