I had mostly written fiction, and managed to amass about 200,000 words before deciding I thought I'd try my hand at getting back into comics. What I'm not sure of is how well charcoal will carry over into the graphic novel format. I finally started experimenting with Caligraphy Pens, and it makes a difference in your stroke style when using ink.

So I'm going to try my hand at blending Charcoal, Blue Mechanical Pencil, and Calligraphy Pen. My style lens toward the dark, so I may end up needing to tone down my content.

Also finally started learning Japanese, which ironically is actually easier than French.
