Well it's been a week and I'm having second thoughts on the 300 MB/10 GB hosting. I don't think it could handle the site since this online blog gets 150-200 hits a day so add more hits to that and lots of image downloads the 10 GB of bandwidth probably won't last for a month and the site would be down all the time. The next step up is 500 MB/70 GB for $91 a year and that's a tad expensive for my liking right now (even though that is extremely cheap for hosting) since I need to be saving for school. So I need to figure out what I'm going to do yet again. Sorry for all the delays, I'll try and work this out as fast as possible.

B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...
