The Crosshatch
Dandy
I'd done a pencil sketch
using the crosshatch technique with pencil and did the upper half of
this character. I did a very delicate, fine line, and it looked pretty
good. However after watching some videos and eating something, I came
back to the drawing board and realized that the elongated eye and
abbreviated nose looked way too Mel Odim-ish for my comfort. So, I
decided to revamp the scene and use colored pens. Alas, the lines
weren't really thin enough to get the effect that I wanted, but the
piece still has it's merits.
