truely. Much more animated now. While the sketchy look is nice for just that look, bit of advice, when you want a crisp line drawing, draw just like that with a Non-Photo Blue Pencil. Then you can trace the best lines with a normal pencil, copy it, and presto, instant crisp TF drawings. Something I just finally got around to doing myself.

That looks a ton better; I really like the movement in it. The blue pencil's a great idea; I'll have to give it a shot myself. Do you need a particular shade of blue, or will any light blue pencil do the job?

the one I have right now actually has "non-photo blue" printed on the side of it. I bought it from an art store. It works REALLY well. I don't know about normal blue colored pencils. Probably not, and def. not pens. If you do that you're talking about scanning it into Photoshop, selecting the color, and filling in white, and that won't look very good at all. That I have tried before.
