Zen & the Art of Cartooning Maintenance

Sunday, February 03, 2008 - 01:05 AM

I've been trying out a beautiful Japanese brush for some inkwork these last few days. The resulting linework is not in the comic yet, as I want to tame it a little better than I have thus far (...brushwork can be tricky to control with ink).

Anyway, as I'm drawing with the brush today, my nose starts itching. Absent-mindedly, I go up to scratch it...without even thinking of the brush still in that drawing hand.

Three-inch swipe of India Ink across my forehead.

...A proud moment.
