Why don't you guys believe in Gimp? It has all sorts of tools. Anyway I originally tried using contrast and reducing colours to get the lines automatically but that didn't work. So now I just use the line tools in a layer above the scan, using it as a guide. Get smoother, neater lines with the ease of a pencil as well. I'd probably just do everything digitally if I had a tablet.

Vaporeon Nyotaimori

The following picture is accompanied by my latest story Dining Out (Contains adult content). It's also drawn inspiration and motivation from a few real news stories, such as the exploits of "sushi king" Kenny Kuene's dalliances with nyotaimoriand stories of erotic supper clubs. My writing is way better than my drawing so I definitely advise checking out the story.

Thank you. I wasn't really happy with it, but then again I suppose we're always our own harshest critic. I think I'd do better if I had proper tools for drawing. Still, I just do it for fun and at least I have seen some improvement in my techniques.

I went back and merged all my art threads into one.

This one was done as a birthday present for a friend and includes the brand shi designed. I used a photo reference to try get the pose to work (Getty Images photo by Dorling Kendersley) but it still didn't really come out how I wanted. Though I suppose that's to be expected if I almost never draw.
