PHEW! That was annoying... but I think this version is MUCH better than the one I posted previously. You can see the nowhere-as-good version here:

I'm also going to try to experiment with NOT using a brush pen for line weight variance and stick with a single line weight throughout. This comes at a great time, because my brush pen ran out of ink! But also... in my journey to learn more about inking techniques, I've been going over a lot of my graphic novels and being more conscious of how they ink. Recently I rediscovered my copy of not simple by Natsume Ono, and noticed that she was still able to create dynamic characters even if the art style was simple and drawn with a single line width:

To which, I'm gonna try to study this book a bit more and see what lessons I can take from it!
