To Ink or Not to Ink

This is something in my sketchbook I did with my Pentel Pocket Brush pen (I love that thing). I only finished her head in my sketchbook, the rest of the torso is done in PS, I tried this guy Frenden's brush set. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how variable it was and how much it was like my brush pen.  This doesn't necessarily push me all the way over to doing all my inking in PS but it helps. Maybe it's my tablet that just doesn't have the precision I feel when doing it by hand, not sure.

Character Concept

This is some concept work for a project I'm working on.

This is our heroin. Something of a Tomb Raider feel.  We have 

several cool characters planned. These are my efforts at a ten year

old girl.  The tool is Painter 11. I made the mistake of only making it 

100 dpi so there is not much opportunity for detail. 

BattleChick

 

I have story ideas for this one.The girl that finds her mother instinct and can get downright mean. This also was a recent exercise with color pencils.
