    I love this! Idk if that’s you, or if its like someone’s sassy aunt but I feel this vibe so hard! Only thing I have to say is the hatching on the ear is kind of hard core. I mean, the ear could be in complete shadow but typically ears tend to have spaces of highlights kind of on the upper rim and the outer area. I am not sure if you catch me, I don’t know anatomy like that so this is how I have to describe it. I also think it’s brave as hell you did this whole thing with dip pen because my ass would have fifty splotches everywhere by the time I was done with something like this =)!

    Cheers!

      I totally agree. The shading in this is a mess, a fix upon a fix upon a fix. Eventually I just had to make myself walk away and stop overworking it. Fortunately the lady depicted seems to have liked it!

        Nah, the shading in this isn’t a mess. I FUCKING love your shading, and I swear to god if you talk shit about it again I will come to your house and braid your hair. Don’t got hair? You’re gunna get a braided wig. It’s on! Anyways, I totally am a “do I stop now, or do I keep going at this until it’s pure black because I can’t stop inking all this shit” kind of person. I get it! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - if you can capture the essence of whatever you’re drawing you got it. and clearly - you got it. So you done good! Don’t be mean to yourself! I just figured I would say the thing about the ear because it might help in the future. What are you gunna do? Get in a time machine and fix it? Nah. Just a little thing to tuck away for the future =)!
