Actually, it´s not ink, is just pencil :) But a bit "Photoshopped".

Thanks for the reply!

Looks really nice...nice line thickness....but hate to say that the left(her left) pupil is maybe a bit misplaced in comparison with the other one.....

I agree about the pupils... theyre slightly off. Both of them are looking at you though, wierd. lol.

Anyways, care to tell us how you photoshopped the pencils to make it look inked? I'd love to be able to bypass the inking stage.

I have just corrected the pupils issue now :)
Thanks a lot for that, guys. I hope is better now, although I know not perfect.

And about the Photoshop bussiness, is not really difficult, but you have to do it with care if you want to keep as much as your original pencil drawing.
You can do it in different ways, but I´ll explain the one I use pointing the other method when it´s necessary:

1) Scan your pencil image ( the pencils should be really tight if you want to get a full ink-effect, but it´s up to you). Scan it with deffault settings, so no contrast or anything set up, and in color mode if you use blue pencils.
2) If you use blue pencils as I do, Go to Layer>layer Style>Blending Options ( this can be done as well in Select>Color Range, and erase the blue after selecting it). So, put in the "Blend if" blue, and play with the "This Layer" bar until you get the result you wish. All this should be done with care and sometimes several times, erasing the different blue tones. It´s not absolutely necessary that you erase ALL the blue tones. You can leave the light ones to the 4th stage of the process, where they will be eliminated as well.
3)If you scanned the image in color due to the blue pencils, this is the time to change the image mode to Greyscale.
4) Go to Image> Adjustments> Levels and play with the bars until you get the final result. Be careful in not "burn" the image too much. there are 2 handles you can move around: one to darken the darkest grey tones, and another to erase the light grey tones( this can be done as well in Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast, and play with the Contrast bar).

And the end of this process is possible that you have to correct your lines a little bit, but you can see the result in my own drawing above.
I hope this has been useful, even with my crappy english.

See you!

Too detailed for me for now. Maybe in colours it would be more clear. Nice lineart anyway!
