nice

what did you use to make those?

[Sketch]

Hey Usagi, thanks. They where made with a pen I picked up a couple of days ago... called Pigma Brush. It's hard to get used to, but I find I'm starting to like it better than my other Pigma micron pens. You can get great line varation with it once you get a handle on it(which I haven't got yet).

I plan on painting the girl next. I was wondering what style of painting you guys think would help the piece the most? Abstract or semi realistic? Keep the lines or loose them? Colours? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks guys!

i personaly would keep the lines they give your drawings a very graphic feel almost a graffiti style. as far as painting them keep it abstract. similar to your other colored piece.
if you were gonna go for a more realistic look lose the lines.

but i like the style.

Thanks for your input WerxOne. Here's my first attempt at it. I might redo it. Let me know what you think...
