Red vs Blue

I got some blue lead a few days ago! It's so easy to ink over it and it doesn't show up when you scan in greyscale...

Awesome.

I've been sketching with red pens for the past two years. (Mostly because I doodle during work... *cough*) Unfortunately, I'm a messy sketcher, so any lines I want to keep I'll go over them with black ink.

Digital inking? Ha, I simply don't have the motivation at the moment.

I've tried red lead before, but I didn't like 'em. Same with 2H pencils.

But blue lead... It's easy on the eyes, I guess. Hell, this is what I did as a "warm-up" ink:

Shakti Lineart

The anatomy proportions are a little off (for Shakti), but it's nice to see "clean" lineart on paper for once. :3
