Hm.. that's cool to know; I don't really think about it. I draw more in pen than I do in pencil, but it depends on the day. Gotta love those cheap, promotional business-y pens.
I love drawing the little whatevers, the splash things, however you would describe them. I'm doing a big background thing of the blobs right now. My hands are killing me and now I have a headache, but I hope it turns out cool.

haha awesome! but you definately made the right choice...we can see each line you made and it takes a lot of skill to make so many shades flow together without smoothing it out!

@graceL33 Wow. Thank you so much! I was debating whether or not to use that blend-y stick thing to smooth it all out, but I really don't like that completely smooth look with my drawing. :) Your comment just made my day.. er.. night I guess.

oops I accidently commented about your drawing on a colored version so I'll just copy it here: "your strokes look so raw and fearless. beautiful!" :)
