    Looks good!

    Invest in a fine liner set going up to a fairly wide gauge, then you can work on erasing the pencil lines and replacing them with thick fine liner. After that the next step will be scanning them into a program like Krita, or Photopea, and colouring them. Then stuff like this gets a lot more immediately ‘readible’ to the eye.

    Good luck!

      I dunno I kinda prefer analog, in a day when AI can pump out things faster and better than I’ll be capable ever, it seems more fulfilling.

      Honestly, I don’t even like pencil and don’t use it. I know for construction and mistakes it helps, but there is something to be said for something permanent on the page. Also I don’t really like the smearing associated with graphite.

      Legibility is something I am working toward atm. I am thinking of increasing it by using multiple colors of ink. Putting down a layer of a light yellow/orange/red for basic blocking, followed different pens with different size tips and various shades of ink.
