this ham is a great shape. look at those cute hands. that nose and brow, finally, just right. you can’t ask for better whisker angles than that. i believe the mood of this hamster is ‘polite indifference’.

i am trying to use heavier lines. this is a pretty big ham… about 10 inches. the bigger they are the better they ink, in my limited experience.

woah, awesome… i don’t know if that hamster is yawning or what but, crazy! still attempting to reduce the detail in the feet and somehow have less lines there so they don’t draw attention and fit with overall balance… or at least that is what i tell myself.

two hamsters in one day! yesterday my wife suggested we play with ink. i went out and bought some calligraphy brushes and ink. then we spent the night inking it up. i inked some hamsters, boy was that fun. not that my inking is all that great right now, but the potential! i love how it feels to have such line width changes and fast movement. it feels like velocity. i shall practice more.
