I've really started to hate drawing Chip. Those stupid glasses, that lame hair. I just can't get comfortable with his design. I think part of the problem is that I use Manga Studio 4 to digitally ink the art, which uses a mathematical program to smoothe and correct your lines, resulting in linework free from jaggy pixilation. The same feature, though, renders it difficult to do angles, because it want to round everything. So rectangles, like Chip's glasses, are a literal battle. Really though, that's only a small part of it. The truth is, it's a bad design, one I need to work on if I'm going to get any kind of consistency with or enjoyment in drawing.

Speaking of digital inking, this was probably my favorite art to date in the pencil stage, but it somehow went sour on me in the inking stage. I'm actually pretty "meh," about it now, which is disappointing.
