Thank you Glory, Windy, Wavewright and Clayres!
Windy, cute Emil -mole-diglett. And he looks so happy, too!
Glory, you have reason to be proud of these. As for ballpoint over pencil, I use the same technique as Noodles: light pencil outlines, then ballpoint on top. Don't use pencil for shades but wait for the pen to fill them in. As long as the ballpoint haven't dried out, I find them one of the more comfortable types of ink to work with, and especially to shade with.
Here's todays drawing: Ballpoint over pencil, about one and a half hours. Made after Gaemmel drew these two as the main characters from Tangled in the dedicated inktober thread.
I miss being able to slightly adjust the size of hands and feet after painting them, but apart from that, I'm very happy with drawing traditionally.
