Bored after work today, what can I say? The skin is a very nice canvas, with the right tools. Unfortunately, my ballpoint pen ran out, so I had to finish with my gel-writer. I find the gel-writer to be less abrasive, but the ballpoint makes a much darker mark and enables you to more easily produce shading (on skin). It also has a tendency to last, whereas gel-writer markings tend to bleed into the surface of the skin, and make a much grayer mark. Since they bleed a bit too, its harder to define your lines and you end up wasting a whole lot of ink trying to add depth. So for all you artists anxious to give this a try, go with the ballpoint. Its less messy.

So this is just a character I made up on the spot, with a little dragon friend. When I do this I have the most fun with making neat little border designs...

The ink will wash off within a few scrubbings.
