Hi April--
What surface were you working on for your original mating bugs? If it was
drafting film, or rag Bristol board (at least 3 ply) of some kind, erasing
and re-inking should be no problem. It would be a neat Photoshop challenge.
Perhaps you could make your initial position changes in Photoshop, then
output it on a transparent or vellum surface --the special vellum papers for
laser/inkjet are very good--and perhaps continue touching up the remaining
stipples with your pen. Or probably any good paper would do. Just run a
test first!
Just a thought--I love hybrid traditional/digital solutions!
Best,
Chris
