Artist’s comment:
Alrighty. This one is done with Pigma Micron 0.8. And I must say I hate this pen. I heard good things about it, I bought it to try and… well, I have several and they are all like half-dry. So it’s not like I got a bad, used pen. I think that’s the way it is: always making an impression of the last bit squeezed out. It does give some fine lines after all my efforts. It’s probably that I expected more. More ease. More flow. You can see the light lines are all torn apart. For that reason I decided to not hatch anything and just leave it as line art. Remembering the sad experience with ballpoint pen.
To be fair, it does give some accuracy, it can be used for some works where a high-flow pen or a quill would make a mess. But it’s harder than gel and just is pretty stressful. I have to always focus on how I press it, not what I draw.
I guess I’m too spoiled by pencils. ^^;
