I rushed this one, but I don't care. I need to do some drawing, so I did. I will clean up page 2, maybe even re-do the whole thing, but if I just wait and keep waiting, it will never get done. I need to do more drawing, inking, scanning, publishing on a nightly basis. It is tough, though.
I was plagued with troubles tonight. I felt rushed but I also felt the need to draw and complete something, even if it wasn't to my total satisfaction. I started off by inking with calligraphy ink on bristol board, which in theory you would think would be fine, but the ink was feathering and it was blotchy, but I didn't notice I was using the wrong ink, so I switched pens and lo! and behold! more of the same feathering. Then I realize I am not using my acrylic ink. Of course, I switch to the correct ink and I start leaving some ink puddles (yes, like the blog's name) on the paper. I had to use wite-out on some spots to make corrections. Then the wite-out on my hands was interfering with how I was holding the pen. Then the hours drag on. I felt like scrapping the whole thing, starting over, using a brush instead of a pen, but that is for another time.
And you have to bear with me that the Sand People reference from Star Wars is leading somewhere. Part 2 will be posted soon enough.
