This thread fired up my inner mangaka spirit that had been dormant for years!
Like I posted in the mentioned thread, I use these to draw:
They are all cheap-ass, but they do their job perfectly, at least for someone as bad as me who only draws for fun.
So after years without putting any time of my day into drawing, I picked up some ink and paper and started the job!
The final result of today, with some self-criticism:
Winry Rockbell (pencil sketch)
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RKfWBfj.png) Somehow drawing Winry was easy, and I have difficulty drawing women...
Winry Rockbell
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DpVPLyV.png) I liked this, the lines are smooth
Spike Spiegel
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/EpF0vLO.png) Yeah... really screwed up his hair and face. Doesn't look much like Spike.
Motoko Kusanagi
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qZ0XxkH.png) Lines are not smooth, bumpy arm during the drawing process
Vash the Stampede
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xRphvog.png) The gun is horrible and his right hand is awkward... besides the image itself somehow doesn't picture Vash's powerful presence at all.
I didn't erase the pencil sketch in any of those because I'm lazy.
Ah, a little useful tip before I finish:
If you haven't used your fountain pen for quite some time (like I didn't use mines for like ~2 years), it might need some cleaning. To do so, dettach the lower end of your pen and dip it in hot water for some minutes. The old and dry ink inside the pen that sometimes clog it will start flowing out of the ink canal. This works for cheapo fountain pens like mine, I don't know if fancier pens require some additional precaution or something.
And in a completely unrelated note, I just secured a $60k/year job (~30k in USD), hurray!

Oooooof.. Just make sure not to tell her that!
but great drawings!

They look pretty good. I don´t think you´re giving yourself enough credit with spike, he looks a little different (face) but anyone would recognize him as Spike. Besides, you really got spike´s cocky attitude in there :D.
Any plans on coloring?

Thanks everyone!
Ah, no plans on coloring. I sincerely tried to learn how to properly do that but I just can't do it.
btw Flash, if you can, watch Trigun, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. They are a must!

Just finished watching Ghost in the Shell yesterday. Nice pictures and I agree with your self-criticisms. Still better than I could draw though.
