I’m sorry I completely forgot to answer this when you first asked. I just saw it again now and figure - better really really late than never?</p> <p><a href="http://www.staedtler.com.au/ball_432_au#ctl05_Tab-product-tab-2" title="Staedtler ball 432 M">Staedtler ball 432 M</a> are my favourite ballpoints at the moment. <span>They are not 100% blot-proof, but they are fairly well behaved and come in pretty colours (including brown).</span></p> <p><span>Blotting happens when the ink collects on the exposed part of the ball that is not touching the paper. I keep a separate piece of paper/item of clothing/section of skin nearby to wipe the tip on every now and then and that seems to keep everyone happy.</span></p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48840680528http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48840680528Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:27:10 +1000<p>Hello and thank you!</p> <p>For the monster girl challenge I have been using the Procreate app on iPad, which has a lovely grainy brush called “bonobo chalk”.</p> <p>Step 1: Create a blank transparent layer<br/>Step 2: Using bonobo chalk + eraser, draw the rounded rectangle in a single colour<br/>Step 3: Lock layer transparency (the most important bit)<br/>Step 4: Scribble all over your layer like a hyperactive child - your grainy edges are preserved by the transparency lock</p> <p>I’m sure you could use a similar technique in any graphics software that have layers and transparency (aka. alpha channels, masking, etc) + a grainy brush.</p> <p><span>I hope that helps a little bit!</span></p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48839689404http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48839689404Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:53:00 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4124d08d3da1a3b59a926cdebab83af1/tumblr_mllbcffRtl1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 day monster girl challenge<br/> Day 5: Mermaid</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48502529554http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48502529554Sun, 21 Apr 2013 15:31:27 +100030 day monster girl challengemermaidillustrationartists on tumblr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1c9d3b6f9b38e28dda160282d22738a3/tumblr_ml9t5ezDFX1qblghwo1_r4_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 day monster girl challenge<br/> Day 4: Naga</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48000891618http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/48000891618Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:24:00 +100030 day monster girl challengenagaillustrationartists on tumblr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9d966da0e2aa7dac40aab6c0252c9beb/tumblr_ml39nwOrr71qblghwo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 day monster girl challenge<br/> Day 3: Slime</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47694699450http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47694699450Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:38:00 +100030 day monster girl challengeslimeillustrationartists on tumblripad art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/715905685646c2962419d89db9e623af/tumblr_mkxuelvysu1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 day monster girl challenge<br/> Day 2: Centaur</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47454450681http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47454450681Mon, 08 Apr 2013 23:20:44 +100030 day monster girl challengeillustrationartists on tumblriPad Art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8fedb1ff4b6de47783dbf9e007fc5008/tumblr_mkvot7DLCl1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>30 day monster girl challenge<br/> Day 1: Harpy</p> <p>This bandwagon is too much fun to pass up.</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47353436153http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/47353436153Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:24:00 +100030 day monster girl challengeharpyillustrationartists on tumblripad art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4d20dde7099e7e6e839fb20e52701e70/tumblr_mjlmnbCqxZ1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>An idea borrowed from Richard Flanagan, borrowed from Dickens.</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/45263694379http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/45263694379Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:28:00 +1100illustrationartists on tumblrheart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc4op9jTiZ1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Illustration Friday: Water<br/> Made with Procreate on iPad</p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/33887474390http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/33887474390Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:35:02 +1100illustrationfridayartists on tumblripad art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbfb8wYzIq1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/32938022100http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/32938022100Sat, 06 Oct 2012 00:15:00 +1000bookfantasyillustrationillustration fridayipad artartists on tumblr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb44epF8ml1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/32517790495http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/32517790495Sat, 29 Sep 2012 23:08:00 +1000bathinggirlgreenillustrationipad artpink<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9rvgwtthg1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/30793444493http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/30793444493Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:48:00 +1000iPad art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9ba1nK99R1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/30167244229http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/30167244229Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:44:00 +1000artists on tumblrIllustrationipad art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m91xuaWZfu1qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Made with <a href="http://www.fiftythree.com/paper/via/tumblr">Paper</a></p>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/29823329279http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/29823329279Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:42:10 +1000MadeWithPaper<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo1_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo2_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo3_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo4_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo11_r1_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77h1qk2qL1qblghwo10_r1_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/27259508527http://skimmilks.tumblr.com/post/27259508527Mon, 16 Jul 2012 00:24:45 +1000comicartists on tumblrfail<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6rkjgKkp11qblghwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I have been seeing a lot of barely-covered bottoms out in public.
