Ta da! I feel I accomplished something today. It finally looks like I didn't spill an ink well across the page. Another issue I'm finding is the size of the panels - the original size of these early panels is about 7 1/4" x 10 1/4" - a fairly arbitrary measurement, but at the time it was a comfortable working area for me. As the pencils have progressed I've increased the size of the entire frame, and I now work at 9 1/2" x 12". The smaller size of these early pages makes it tougher to ink with the detail I'd like - for this page I used a .005 micron pen, the smallest line size I have, and it ends up being much more proportional to the size of the figures, but tougher to work in variations in line weight.
The moral of the story? Draw bigger pictures.
