I started with Thing, using a quill pen, but I felt the line quality was a bit stiff, so I switched over to a #2 brush, and never looked back... At least until I got to the background. I gave it a go with some Rapidograph pens, but the lines still didn't feel as natural compared to using a brush. This could be because of the slightly textured paper I was using. I just wasn't getting as smooth a line with the pens.
Definitely a good learning experience for me!
Below is the original Kirby pencil, and the blue line conversion I did.
