These are some ink life drawings. Enjoyed doing these, not much room for error, which is part of the fun, especially when something turns out half-decent :D
Crits would be appreciated.

Nice. Ya, that looks like a cool technique, never tried using ink like that. Did you just mix with water and use a brush or what? I like the style...the dude with the guitar is the best IMO. Great sense of lighting in that one, and I especially like how you rendered his sleve and the folds of his pants.

Thanks Jeff. As far as the technique, I used a dip pen to put down the initial contour lines, then I would use a brush with ink diluted with water, or sometimes just water (at times over the contour lines which would still be wet). That's pretty much it.
