A worthwhile Sunday of inking, about midday I started this piece with the intention of going a few hours then leaving it and go back to it throughout the day, the only problem was as the day went on the skin started to dry out and toughen up, to the point that the needles could barely pierce it. you can see the difference in the two swallows, the right one was coloured a few hours before the left one and by the time I got to the scroll it was almost impossible. Over all a good attempt, first real attempt at blending colours and mixing inks, pretty chuffed with the result, I'll know next time to wrap it up and fridge it between sessions.
