This week we have the head of a dark grizzled satyr. This was one of the first sketches I did using a Uni-ball Vision Elite pen. I was amazed at how crisp the lines came out and the ink dried very quickly, so there were no smudging issues. This is great when you want to get lost in your crosshatching. Sometimes the pen does dig a little into the paper, but as you can see that doesn't affect the reproduction value of the image and I really cannot get enough of those fine crisp lines! I added the grey tone in photoshop post scanning. I felt like the image was getting lost in a sea of white. Enjoi!

With all the other Featured Creatures getting a tonal treatment in Photoshop, I felt like the very first post was getting left out, so I gave it a fresh coat of grey effects. Hope you like!

Love the fresh hand-drawn content! Nothing quite like crisp black lines on white paper, I know the feeling well : )
you never lose the gift, it's the wobbles you will get from not using it... like riding a bike 20 years later...
Thanks for commenting guys!
Vincent - Yes on the crisp black lines! Thanks Mom, My Favorite! I think that may be why I don't care for a lot of current comic book art. The pencils are almost incidental to the coloring. I enjoy what complex black and white forces your eyes to do.
Retro - I was surprised once I got into it, how quickly things sped up. It's just making sure I'm devoting time.
