Whaaaaaaaaa!!!! I finally got to finish it!! I favorited this a while ago but never got the chance to finish reading it!!! But I finally did now!!! It's amazing!!!! Too bad the main character got injured and couldn't finish studying....

Love your art!

Amazing work, Snowy! I'm really glad that you mentioned it to me... I can't believe I missed it earlier! I remember thinking how amazing it was when I took a look at the first couple pages long ago. I'm so glad I could return and read the full story!
I like the story and the way you presented it... so neat and tidy and creative! I was going to ask you what medium you used to ink it, but I read one of your replies in the comments... India ink and brush? Thats so amazing! just like a pro! I love your style and how consistent it is. And I like the lines that you use for the panels... really matches the atmosphere of the story! Great work on all the detail too. How long did you work on this for? I hope you got a great mark for it, you really deserve a high mark!! I can't explain how much I love the way you drew it all... I can totally learn a lot from you^^

@snow fox:

Cool!!! I wanted to do a bachelors in fine arts too!! But everyone advised me not to... But I've taken a couple of art classes in college!! And I want to take more!

@izuzu15:

I happened to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts - that's really where my knowledge is coming from. I haven't been pursuing comics specifically after graduating, but I have continued to draw, and I've done some freelance work. I have a different day job, so take that as you will!

@snow fox:

I notice you sell a book, also you speak about the industry and how things used to be done and stuff, does that mean your a professional? Because you sure draw like one! I've worked with india ink nib and brushes but it doesn't look like yours! I dream of the day I become great at drawing!

@izuzu15:

For this particular drawing, I used brush and india ink. Most of the time I do use micron pens, and sometimes india ink for larger areas that need to be colored black. But yes, this was all done by hand with india ink and brush.

The blue pencil was an erasable one. I bet that there's some reason for using the blue, that is kind of an industry thing... and maybe there used to be a true practical reason for it. It may be that the types of cameras that were used a while ago to capture images of drawings did not record the blue, so that it didn't even need to be erased. That's not really the case today, so I didn't necessarily have to use blue... especially if I was erasing it anyway. But I do often draw in a different/lighter color as the first layer, and then ink over top of that. It's easy to see.

For the lettering, I used pen and nib, and ink.

Thanks - really glad you like it!

@snow fox:

I knew it! It looks too pretty to be digital!!! Well you're amazing.
Wow you did the text by hand?! QUALITY!
So you use blue pencil, is there a particular reason?
Brush and india ink, so you don't use pen?

@izuzu15:

I actually work almost entirely by hand! This is very minimal digital editing, just cleaning up some of the (blue) pencil lines. I did the lettering by hand as well. It's india ink and brush.

@TheAnimator:

That's a great suggestion! I'll see if I can get around to that.

I love your style!!! Do you draw by hand and then edit it on computer or is it completely digital?

@TheAnimator:

Yep, got repeated. I'll figure out how to remove it, eventually...

@twilight samurai:

Yeah, that last page got repeated : I, er... haven't figured out how to delete pages.

I really like this series! Hope you have more for us... :D (Did you repeat the last page or was that just me?)

holy cat! that's REALLY good! Hehe...(compared to that, I suck)
