Daily Post: Ladybug

Here's an inked character for my halloween piece in progress. This guy will be dancing with the beetle of a couple of posts back. Again, I'm experimenting with more elaborate rendering in my ink drawings, more spotting of blacks and hatching and feathering. Usually I stick with a straight contour and let the color do all the work, but I would like to try to include more line variety, giving my figures a little more character than when they're simple outlines.
