@Tom-Shannon Thank you so much. I can not get the same kind of energy when I am working digitally. I am so impressed by Lee, @Norman-Morana, and many other artists, who can transfer a lot of what they do traditionally into their digital work. I tried a little bit but always felt very forced.
My current digital painting mark-making is very different from my traditional work. I am ok with doing multiple styles, and I enjoy doing both styles so far. But when I work with client projects, it is only the digital painting style so far. I wish I get to do a picturebook in my traditional style - one can dream :-). I guess I just need to keep practicing and come up with a story that fits this style.
@Leah-Boulet hello and thanks! I used a Pigma marker, paint brush and ink and a swiffer duster pad that I rolled up with an elastic band and dabbed into my inky water 
high quality art tools!
day 9-throw.
Inktober day 9 THROW
@Doodleworx Ha ha! I have not heard of the swiffer duster tool. That sounds like a much better use of them then dusting! Thanks for sharing. 
@xin-li I agree. The digital process can not capture the spirit of an artist, at least not easily. Regardless, the digital work flow is amazing and the results look great!! Being a dad and working full-time as a web designer, I would not be able to draw as much as do without it. It's good to have a digital and traditional style. They enhance each other.

@xin-li Haha, thank you for the call out! It's very encouraging
I'm really digging your two recent inktober posts!! I think if you wanted to there is totally a way of having that kind of mark making in your digital work as well. And there is alwasy tra-digital illustration
Day 9: McGonagall
Inktober Day 09!
This one was a struggle during the process, but the piece grew on me once it was done.
Okay, I made it to Day 9: Throw:
@Leah-Boulet Thanks! I really like it when I draw a successful hand; It's always a good feeling!
Day 9 - Throw
I was thinking of what objects could be thrown and I thought of Ninja Throwing Stars, also known as Shurikens, and I figured it would be a great opportunity to draw one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So here's Michelangelo dodging some ninja stars!
I like how the piece turned out! I used a reference for the pose and anatomy, but I didn't really use one for the throwing stars, so those could have been drawn sleeker, but overall, I'm pleased with what I got!

Day 10: Hope, and an Angel
Day 9. THROW caution to the wind on the ride to work. Inspired by an old etching.
@Norman-Morana I might need to have a chat with you to learn how you do the tra-digital illustration. you have done it so well. I know you are doing traditional work during this year's inktober (I saw your process video :-). I have a hard time telling if your pieces in your portfolio are traditional or digital. They all look traditional to me :-).
Day 10 - Hope
