I dig those Fury, the line work makes me feel like you would make nice enravings.
for the most part with my stuff I do a pretty light sketch. I keep it almost gestural, and I just figure out the details as I ink. On that one I just had the spiral of the shell in pencil, all the patterning on it is improvised, likewise with the ribbing on the tentacles. I used a zebra super fine point brush tip pen. I just got it and I think it is the nicest solid brush pen I've ever used. It has pretty great line variation and the tip keeps its shape sooo well even after bearing down on it to get those thicker lines.

Easily one of the nicest pens I have worked with in a while.
While I am geeking out about art supplies, let me recommend the other pen I picked up when I got the Zebra. The Akashiya super fine brush pen. It is pretty fantastic, easily as good as the pilot brush pen, but it has a much finer tip. it is disposable, but I'll probably be keeping it around to dip with once it runs dry. Easily worth the $5.
