INKtober day 1

First INKtober drawing. This is another character from the story I am hopefully working on soon. I got a water brush and some paper from Uwajimaya in downtown Seattle this weekend with Abe. I filled the brush with ink instead of water. 

 These are my tests on the rough side of the new paper. That on the right is how bad my people look without sketching them before hand. Eesh. Couple of corgis. Perhaps I will need to do a comic in this style of corgi.

Then the practice on the smooth side. I don't think it makes much of a difference and I can't tell what the paper is or what is the intended side since it is all Japanese.
