I wasn't going to post until I'd finished the inking phase of Amanda's lazy reading portrait. However, I am very excited about how her hair turned out: it is black and curly--two things that become a challenge to ink. I'm inexperienced at doing this traditionally (despite having Amanda forever, I've always focused on the "outlines" being black, so her hair would wind up this awful blue-grey), so I'm very excited about the progress here.
Obviously, I'm still working on problem areas, but I was tired of the pencil for the black hair smudging. This was a fun solution. It will be interesting to take this one out to digital coloring. I think I will have to touch up the arm drapery (it got out of control), but we'll see one the entire piece is inked.
