I was pretty stoked to make this drawing. After the horrible quality of yesterday's abomination (um, I meant: self-portrait), I felt a strong desire to redeem myself today. I can't really say that I pulled out the big guns (so to speak) regarding my tools or processes, but it's certainly a little less than coincidence that I returned to pen for this one. It should be noted, however, that pen was the secondary material this time; I started with a loose pencil drawing, which was then covered with an ink wash. The pen was actually added only after the ink had dried.

I really like this work. The loose brush and pen work along with the border work well together. I like the crop too.
