Lovely work, I saw the cheeky goblin.

Thanks for the comments!
Most of the time (including this one) I use fixed-width Micron markers with various nib sizes because I’m to frugal and lazy to spring for a good Rapidograph set. Some of the other pieces I’ve posted here were done with Sakura’s brush-tip pen, which uses the same waterproof, archival ink as the Microns, and has a much stiffer touch than a real brush. I haven’t used dip pens or real brushes in a while, I need to carve out a little time for practicing with them again. Colors are added with the computer

Your ink work is great. I only gave this a quick look and didn’t notice the little goblin guy at first. Nice touch.

Are you just using a fountain pen on these? I like to check out the process of other artists.

wonderful illustration. that was my first thought too when reading the topic: missing keys, missing gloves, missing shawls,…

by the way, i´m searching someone to exchange portraits with me. in case you are interested just leave me a comment.

for quick, it’s darned good - love how you brought focus to the former location and then snuck the little varmint beneath - very good!
