...and for anybody who says "yeah, so?? My computer can do zip-a-tone greys on my digital artwork, so who needs that old caveman grey tone stuff" well......you I sell my artwork at conventions. Lots of moolah in the secondary market, once you establish a good fan base through your work or a character. You can't sell an original digital file. You can't sell an original printout. (Which isn't an original at all...) I'm not sure how digital comic artists could sell their "originals", but I'd like to know.
oH....Thats called ZIP-A-TONE, or Duatone. Before computers, they were used to create greys and grey patterns on b/w artwork. They came in printed sheets, with a sticky backside, and you basically cut and pasted the piece where you wanted it. (I prefer this to computers anyday, but alas, the Old School techniques of creating comics are quickly fading away into nothingness. Very difficult to find the sheets nowadays.
Cyberdog, I'm not sure what dots you mean,but it may be the reflective light on the pupil. Just draw the whole eye, ink it, then white out the spots where you want the light. Make sure they are in the same position on both pupil's. I hope that helped.

Bounty hunters never seem happy in their work. I wonder that more of them don't consider a career change!

Fantastic work. I really like the inks in the first panel. How did you get those little dots under the eyes? Cyberdog out.
