My eraser right now is seriously non existent. I'm practically rubbing the plastic against the paper.
What's left of the eraser has weird black marks all over it. Not like from erasing pencil like normal. They won't come off and get on the paper.

Sounds like it might be ink.
Probly should get a fresh one.

I got a nice new white one from a friend, but I left their house and forgot it.
Then they went away and won't be back for a few days

whatever man erasers hate me all the time anyway so I WONDER HOW GIDEON'S COMING even though I've really done very very little on the picture woo disembodied head woo blur filter background woo pixel sword that came out better than I thought it would I'm finding it much better to do lineart on the completely un-shrunk scanned picture. I can consciously make the lines thinner, and my scanner makes everything huge, so I'll inevitably shrink it, resulting in nice, thin lines. I can't tell if these are nice thing lines though because his head happens to be laid against the darkest part of the background :| As for that Eko, well, I did part of the lower half of the city drawing, didn't really like it. Stopped. Meanwhile, I couldn't work on photoshopping Eko himself because my mouse died, so I had to use the shitty one that double clicks almost every time I click a single time. And if I try to drag, it'll click on its own half way through dragging and **** everything up so I decided not to bother. And when I got new batteries I had already decided I wanted to draw Gideon so It's something new at least Also, might make it desktop sized.

Looks good so far.

They're doable in gimp, too. Not too hard, you could do them no problem-o. And probably find more inventive uses for them.
I really only blurred the background to hide how weird it looked when I simply drew the different shaded scales exactly as they are in the fight.
It's the background (...and entire setting) from this video
Scott Pilgrim Game ending spoilers
though I guess there's not much point in warning about final boss spoilers when I have a big picture right above that is illustrating the same thing...

Work in progress is in progress. I intend to add a nice city-scape to the background. But I know I'll just ruin the drawing if I try it on the same piece of paper, so I'll do it on a new one. It's not like much will be noticeably connected anyway. I guess the intention is that those are like telephone wires or something. I dunno even though cats are not squirrels I always like to associate him with wires and telephone... cable... Things. The image is a photo taken in Zürich, Switzerland; it comes from Helvetica, a documentary about typographers and typefaces.

Hey, cool. Thanks.
I'll see if I can look for some up-close pictures to use as references for making the wires look more detailed.

Okay here's a new drawing that isn't done. Which was also posted in my ask topic because I'm a ****. I'm particularly looking for assistance in drawing her hand on her hip, with the palm on the hip. It isn't very hard to do a fist(ish thing) with the knuckles resting on it or whatever, but palm is hard. And there's gonna be a bike or a scooter or something there eventually As for eko and gideon, I realized I hate photoshopping things with a mouse too bad

Try it with a touchpad, you'll see what I have to go through.

What kind of touchpad are you using that makes it harder?
I mean they're only harder at first but after a couple of hours pratice you should be ok....

The one that's on every laptop.
It's impossible to do certain styles, better shading, better linework, etc without taking a week or hurting your fingers in long-term use. It's really tedious and overall I would prefer a mouse or even better a tablet. But my lack of working USB ports makes all of that impractical.
