Could be from the UK though.

@YCobb: What paper you get depends on how serious you are about using the ink. I'd suggest cartridge paper. It's decently thick and holds up well against a lot of things, it will still buckle if wet enough though. But it's still sturdy enough for practice and not too expensive in my opinion.
A 110gsm(or above) sketch book might be able to take a bit of practice ink, Though I once got a beautiful hard cover sketch book with perforated pages from barnes and noble. It took ink from pens and copics wonderfully, and would probably handle a pigment ink pretty well too. Though my water colour brush pens did a lot better on water colour paper. I had a cheap sketchbook made of that stuff, the water colour did bleed a little but the colour stayed much more vibrant and smoothly blended.

Actually, if anything, I'd recommend you experiment with a few different types of paper and discover the differences for yourself. Don't have to go nuts getting expensive stuff of course, around here discount stores sell cheap sketch books with different types of paper for different types of mediums. If any of those books don't work with your ink, there will always be other mediums to try.

Hm, I took a nib pen to my sketchbook (Strathmore Sketch 400?) and it's not bleeding nearly as much as the brush. I think the issue might just be application, so I'm gonna give the brush some more practice before I give up on these sheets. Thanks for the advice though, y'all.

Something to fill in the gap on the stone like a design or something would be nice.

Maybe a royal family crest and some Latin or you could show exposed bricks, revealing a shaky foundation.

reworked Chart for Kane's signature ability (Called a Seal in the story). Haven't decided if the actual tattoo will have some sort of illustration (not necessarily the one in the background of this image), or be just the diagram. Que piensan?

Personally, I would leave the tattoo as just the sigil with no image in the background. Either that or do a design encompassing it.

Yeah, I was kind of leaning toward no background, just wanted another opinion.

I'm working on a birthday present for a friend who likes both Homestuck and Attack on Titan. Here's my progress so far.

Three-point perspective isn't my forte but I did manage to correct a mistake with the tower with the help of someone else. I've also been trying really hard to avoid tangents. I think after I finish inking the Giclops and putting details on the tower I'm going to watercolor the sky and the buildings and use colored pencils or copic markers for everything else.

3D maneuver gear is a bitch to draw, by the way.

As always critique is welcome!

I thought the statue was actually more medium-sized until I noticed the size of the spraycan. My only suggestion would be to make the tiles appear smaller, since it seems three people could comfortably fit into one and that's not something a person will automatically assume.

Okay, makes sense! And that's an easy fix too. Just quartering the tiles.
