# Oh that's just mean =P
I like it, I prefer having thicker lines of colour around edges

I generally emphasise every edge when I'm drawing though, I go a bit overboard...

# nice - awww, he looks kinda embarrassed! cute.
if you use really really small light strokes and build the colour up slowly you can get really even colour with pencils. without the lines showing which way you were colouring

# Oh, okay.
Yeah I was getting mad at the True Blue pencil for fucking up his shirt. I was growling at it and muttering mean names. Heheh. I'll remember that for later. :)

# it takes an awful lot of patience
but it looks reallynice if you take the time.
keep it very light and soft, in little circular strokes and just go over and over to build up the colour. yup.
also: how're you this evenin'?

# *winces*
"gauged" roughly means "assessed the size of". NOT "stretched".
"Gauging" does NOT mean "to stretch ones piercings", not matter WHAT the kiddies at school tell you.
but yes, i have sets of 8mm, 4mm and 2mm [0ga, 6ga, 12ga]

# Hokay
So what's gauging?
(I helped save b3ta! Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Tue 2 Oct 2007, 0:09, archived)
#
gaug·ing
1. To measure precisely.
2. To determine the capacity, volume, or contents of.
3. To evaluate or judge: gauge a person's ability.
4. To adapt to a specified measurement.
5. To mix (plaster) in specific proportions.
6. To chip or rub (bricks or stones) to size.


[Middle English, from Old North French

"To gauge" basically means "to measure"
and "a gauge" is a scale of measurement - i.e: the French gauge scale that is commonly used to measure body jewellery sizes.
it DOESN'T mean "to stretch", nor does it mean "tunnes/plugs/other jewellery" i.e: you do not have gauges in your ears. you have jewellery of a certain gauge in you ears. yup.

# I'd say this too
Although, I always find that when I work this way, my hand smudges the right hand side of my picture and I have to go over it about 3 or 4 times...

I could work around it, but I'm just too lazy ^_^
