Lol thanks! I use a 0.5 mechanical pencil as well, but only for the draft sketch. I just messily draw down my ideas to get them on paper. Then I move to Copic and/or Micron multi-liners to ink it. Thats the stage here. And with ink markers, you can get a really tiny tip such as a .005 and then you can go to a big .8 or even a brush tip (which is what I outlined Sena and Hiruma's hand with.
I think my lines get really thick with pencil too but that's cuz I'm sketching or testing what looks better. When you use pen/marker, you don't have that freedom to sketch around (at least, if you want a nice line). I hope I'm making sense! You should try marker sometime! Its really different then just pencil, but I'm sure you'd do really well :D
Thankyou! It was super hard to fix up though =_= I don't have a scanner so I can only take pictures of my art... And the pictures can be really dark. So I had loads of trouble fixing this up so it was bright enough! I'm glad it looks alright^^ Thanks again!
