    human dental formula is 2-1-2-3 incisor, canine, premolar, molar. so an entire upper or lower jaw would be 4-2-4-6. your man has 8 upper incisors and 6 lower. I can’t offer much artistic advice but i can hook you up on the anatomics!

    although looking at it a second time it isn’t really a human, so carry on!

    The text is still a bit placeholder, but I have the inks just about completed.

    The brief called for a design that could be colored or printed as lineart. I’m happy with the level of detail on this one and can think of a few ways to color it. I’m waiting for client feedback and will post the finished image after that.

    I have a heap of work on my Flickr account that hasn’t made the voyage to the main blog. Additionally, I added a Twitter update to my sidebar and am trying to frequently update there as well.

    There are no secrets to it. My settings are freely available. I don’t use any sort of correction or compensation.

    I just practice inking a lot. I do lots of squiggles and flourishes that I know will never be good for anything other than practice.

    I go for fast strokes, consistent pressure regulations. I try to think of my arm like the end of a vinyl plotter.
