Come in, Flash Beaumont!
I'm not a fan of the "Flash look" that's been inundating cartoons ever since John K and Spumco showed that the software could be used for things other than creating annoying ad banners... but I can't deny that, if done properly, it gives a very nice, smooth line style that can actually pass for professional hand-inking. Of course, I don't claim to have come anywhere close to doing it properly, as my wobbly lines with their varying thicknesses will attest. Basically, I'm useless with a Wacom tablet - for me, it's like trying to draw with my right hand. Still, I'm actually quite pleased with the end result, which feels slightly more "solid" than my usual Photoshop jobs.
And yes, I realise that there are some pretty major mistakes with this drawing, including one of his eyebrows being way too far back and the monocle being a complete mess, not to mention some very odd gravity in the lower half of his body, but unfortunately I didn't notice these until it was too late.
