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!

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.

Thanks so much!

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

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

Ack ack! Ack ack ackackack ack!

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you very much. You rock!

Lovely of you to say so! I haven’t done one of these but I’ll have to give it a try!

I loved it! I’ve only been the once, years ago, but I remember seeing this one and loving the look on her face.

Thank you! Though having both my version and the original side by side makes me see how wonky her anatomy went for me…

Not often a drawing makes me laugh out loud. Outstanding work.

For me I always feel like I add one line too many and ruin the whole thing, so I admire people with the discipline to hold back!

Beautifully minimalistic.

Why thank you! I’ve been doing this with a few pieces Still feeling the technique out, but I’m enjoying experimenting!
