My husband and I have been playing around with some new photoshop brushes that make it easier to do nice line art. He’s farther along in mastering the technique and doing an awesome piece that should be up on the facebook fan page this next week. This is my test piece to kind of figure out how the whole thing works. I’m still getting used to it, but, you can see the lines are nice and crisp. Plus, it’s going to let me go back and complete some drawings where I had messed up the hand inking originally.
