Literally sketching as we speak, and the prospect of doing it straight to ink is horrifying as it stands 😂 many many years of digital have somewhat crippled my confidence to the point I draw something about 12 times before it's "final" 🥲 (got it down to 3 today haha)

(ponownie przepraszam, automatyczne tłumaczenie lol) To znaczy, całkiem uczciwie, zasługujesz na przynajmniej jedną wadę w życiu, w przeciwnym razie jaki byłby sens haha

Ok I was very tempted by the offer but you absolutely sealed the deal with Single-Layer Player 😂😂😂
Nah but for real, I'm always down to get dirty (it's normal for graphite to completely smudge up your fingers, right? 🤭)

Haha, relatable. I remember in my final report from my teacher they bluntly said I had "no natural ability, tries hard, but fails" which, kinda sucked as a kid😅
From the looks of it, your gf (at the time) taught you well! 😁

Oh lawdy, I mean, I think you have a point haha - the irony is I studied 'General art' back in school which did cover *everything* traditional had to offer but...clearly I did not pay attention hahaha - but nah, speaking as a guilty 'digital artist' I will say, trad deserves *way* more love.

My sources tell me they're less menacing if you use A4 instead of A5.
My bad. I apologise to pencil gradients everywhere 😂

I mean honestly there's a tiny part of me that's thinking FOR NOW scan in the sketches and colour them digitally but thats a cop out and we all know it 😂

I got a few alcohol markers (cant remember which) and I had mixed results with...consistency? Made me consider pencils but I dunno haha, dont want to blow the budget on things I won't use 🥲 hence the question haha

Mediums, traditional I've not touched since my art exams 17 years ago (which I failed🤣) But digital, usually airbrushed a bit and then inked in cel shading (example on my profile/profile picture) I'm pretty cautious until confident, so whatever is least likely to...one woopsie dooming the thing 😅

That's a good shout, my adhd brain usually just goes *ooo, inspired!* and then just jumps in haha. Wasn't so bad with the digital side since...layers 🙃 but yeah, it's a good idea to warmup, and it helps with fundamental shapes ✨️
Soon as I finish work I'll try it out haha, thank you!

Haha it's all good (at work so also a bit in and out) but briefly, any recommendations for entry level tools for inking, like which fineliners or what not, also any recs on a beginner medium for colour? I sorely miss clip studio having magic buttons for all of the above 😂 *sobs in missing G-pen*
