Squeee! Thanks, Chris! I don't really have anyone to go with him actually. The original image I drew had a dragon in the background, but I couldn't find a way to fit him in this one. The original was done back in 2006, so it was pretty poor. The dragon's head just stuck out of the background. lol. I did draw a girl very similar to him back when; maybe I'll have to redraw her as well.

I drew it a little while ago, but thought it would be PERFECT for this contest. Thank you.

Your welcome! It is perfect. Is it shaded with pencil?

Umm..well..I hate to rude, but I already said that it's not. "It is fully inked using a paint brush and black India ink."

Oh! I'm sorry, I will occasionally read the artists comments, and sorry that you had to type it again. Thats so cool... I'm a terrible painter! ^^

lol. No biggie. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V FTW! Inking's a bit different than painting, but they both require a steady hand. I'm better at inking, myself.

I didn't know there was a difference between inking and painting... Thanks! If I'm bad at painting, then i will be terrible at inking!

That there is. They both use paintbrushes (if you choose), but the similarities tend to end there. At least in my mind they do...For inking you can use ink with a paintbrush (or pen and nibs) or any number of ink pens. In painting you can use variety of paints: watercolor, acrylic, oil.

You'd be surprised. I thought the same thing, but I'm actually pretty good at inking. You don't have all the different colors and values to deal with; it's all just black and white. It can take some getting used to, but I enjoy it.

It is really different... I might be good at it... I'm not sure. I guess it would be easier, because you only have to deal with the different tones. Thanks!

There's a lot of different times and tricks, just as there is with any medium. If you do try, I suggest doing some research before jumping in. Could be useful.
