This illustration ended being in the same issue of Macleans as the Tragically Hip spread, so it's a twofer!
I used a brush pen (Pentel Color Brush) to ink this one. Usually it's a Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold II, 202 Size 1 brush with Speedball india ink. My friend Robin Nishio got me onto the brush pen and I gotta say it's kinda hard to put down. It keeps a super fine point and can go super thick. And great for sketching because it forces me not to overwork stuff!
Occasionally I'll do one of these 100% digitally but I do prefer finishing the illo by hand.
