who does it this way?

Is it a cultural thing or a regional thing, when people count by using their thumb as "one" and the first finger as "two"?

I used the side of a nylon round brush to do the gray shading with ink, moving it like a marker. I got a lot more dry brush look that way. Then I painted over it with the orange.

Pink and orange would not have been my conscious choice, but sometimes I just idly try stuff and it works well enough to post.
