Do you seriously want to hear my comments?
Will any of this be helpful to anyone?

After all, I've been wallowing in this for 10 years.


The linework seem thick.
That's only b/c of the nature
of the pen nib I like to use.

Several screentones used here.
The more unusual ones are the
black gradation on the fur,
the airbrush texture on the shirt,
the hatching work in th background.

Rest are regular screentones,
some overlapped for shadow.

I prefer Letraset tones.
Simply b/c they don't yellow,
have longer shelf-life.

Other brands like Delector
or IC are nice too, but
don't stick as well. They
have wax-adhesive backing,
that's why.
