You are so right about the pencils, when I'm inking I'm unintentionaly cramping up, so all the smooth pencil lines get lost under this cramped up ink line. You mentioned before I should look into making childrens literature for North America and I am playing with the idea for a childrens picture book, any ideas on which doors I should knock when I have something more concrete to show? Anyway thanks for the comment! Joost Thanks M!

And I love the horse's expression! There's a real liveliness to this scene that I really adore - good children's and young adult book illustration is at a low ebb in North America, so I would definitely look into developing your work in that direction, both in comics, and in more traditional illustrated and picture books. You have a great hand for it! One thing - in English, the word for ground wheat powder is "Flour," not "Flower." But still. --M I think you should explore pencil sketches like this a lot more – they have a lot of character to them that ink just can’t match. And I love the horse’s expression!
