Trying out different styles

And just like that, I am back at square one.
I like all styles. I want all styles. But I have to make a choice.

So I'm going to go forward with a fountain pen for the sketching/inking, and filbert brush for painting/coloring.

I can always use the other styles another time.

That's all for now. My iPad had given up on me, so all of this was done in Infinite Painter on a Samsung Tablet, just for your information if you ever wanted to try these brushes out, this is what they look like.

UPDATE 2026-10-05: I have got a new iPad. Procreate is my new best friend now.

I just drew and drew until I figured a style that would work for me. I always had the opposite of Artist's Block. I'd call it something like... Artist's Flood. I just had way too many ideas and styles that I would overwhelm myself and have no sense of direction. (Poor me! What will I do with all this talent?!)

I started with drawing R2D2, okay wait, no, that's not true. I started drawing humans, hands, eyes... but I wanted to have a bit of fun with this.

R2 followed shortly after. It didn't matter what I drew, as long as I figured out the perfect harmony (at least for me) involving the inking and coloring.

Here's a few tests:
