Stage Two: Inking - Wow. I have to say that I really loved this stage. I found the image pulling together and becoming more 'tight' as if by magic. I found myself forced to make a single line to edge a form where I would normally be very 'sketchy'. I didn't have the time to be sketchy and refine it later. In fact, I had pretty much completely finished the image of me and had only 3/4 completed the head of the dragon when I realized that my time was over half gone. Also of note I love that I started to have the ability to 'hint at' a spot (like the dragon's toes) and have it flesh out very fast.

On to Stage Three!
