Attempts at Ink

Using the bamboo pen seems to be tricky to me.  Due to the finite amount of ink and hardness of the tool, lines become the primary way to illustrate.  It becomes more difficult to control the line due to the unwieldy character of transfer from flat bamboo tip to paper, so this media doesn't work like other pens.  It's interesting and I have to play around with it much more to learn how to create different line types that embody textures and shadows!
