\"Finished<\/a>
Finished pencil drawing of Malyck.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Edit: February 6, 2025
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I decided to refine the Malyck drawing a bit more, seen above! I since wrote on the following page, and there was quite a bit of see-through. I tried to remove it as best I could digitally, but it makes me consider acquiring a pencil board in the future. There is a Hobonichi pencil board I was eyeing the other day, and looking for an excuse to justify its purchase… haha.<\/p>\n

Anyway, since I ended up adding more to it today, I changed the date on the drawing to today’s.<\/p>\n

\"Malyck<\/a>

Did a warm-up sketch of Malyck earlier today, initially with the intention of inking it. I’m very out of practice with clean pencil drawing – I mainly use one for jotting a quick note or a rough sketch idea, nowadays – but I was enjoying using it a lot today. And ended up adding more to it in pencil instead, which may or may not have been to its detriment. I’ll try an ink test another time. :)<\/p>\n

\"Earlier<\/a>

I was going to leave the sketch like this, before deciding to draw on it a little more and ending up with the sketch at the top of this post.<\/p>\n

I love working with mechanical pencils, and it used to be the medium I used the most often. I still use one (the Staedtler 0.3 mm drafting pencil is a thing of beauty, and incredibly durable), but it’s more infrequent than I’d like. I mainly use it for jotting down quick ideas, and not finished drawings. Maybe I’ll try doing some cleaner sketches this year.<\/p>\n
