Description I love doing these simple inks, or ink and a limited palette.

This was a commission; the colored version will be going up in a moment, but I thought the bare inks were also worth showing.

Simple never necessarily means boring - this is quite stunning. The clean lines go beautifully with the negative-positive space style. The details are awesome; all in all very eye catching, very pleasing.

Also, is any part of this digital? (Not that I don't trust you xD ) I can't draw straight lines to save my life, even with rulers. Their crispness amazes me.

I used a ruler on many of the straight lines, and filled in one gap with the computer pen tool. I also filled in the black areas on the computer - it's so much easier to go in with a select and fill rather than a sharpie marker.

I am very, very fortunate to have unusually steady hands and good manual dexterity.
