A quick sample of a fantasy book character I did, meant to look old and frail, with a wispy little beard. I knocked this out quickly on a scrap of paper I had lying around (hence the unusual format), but am more pleased with it than with most images I draw... isn't it always the way? :B

Big blocks of black are fun. :la:

Loving this! It's got a nice Mike Mignola vibe to it!

Cheers, the 'Mignola style' is my favourite comic style, and one I try to get right. :la:

Really like the thick black lines used to pick out the details of the face.

Cheers, I'm quite fond of using just lines to convey detail. Saves time on hatching too.... :dummy:

I just did a big drawing and used a worn-out permanent marker to make shading. So quick! :iconrlyplz:

I wish there was more short cuts in my line of work.

I think 3D printing is seen by many as the ultimate shortcut to sculpting. :p
