I made a bigger one! Pentel pointliners on a 8.5 by 11 paper (not printer paper!). I’m pretty happy with it. Should probably plan out the background and then put it in pen next time. Shading is ok, however it looks like I missed a little on the pointy face considering angles, and round head looks like they have a weird five o clock shadow, so more learning to be done. I’m really happy with the dark filled spaces, but I need to get a bigger pen for them, because I used the same one for outlining the heads and bodies, it took a while, and I think it might be starting to die already.

As for my knee… I’m in that weird state where I feel ok most of the time, but it’s WAY too easy to push it too far, so I’m still not back to my usual level of activity. If I have learned at least one thing from this bout, it’s that I should get a comfier desk chair. I should probably also adjust the air-conditioner because it’s harder to take a shower. If you are wondering what I did for my knee to go out, the answer is walk. In my house. In my living room… I didn’t trip. I didn’t step on anything. I just… walked, and my knee said no. The anxiety these things give me is not helpful.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!
