I know I've been terribly delinquent in posting here, I do apologize to those few (possibly) interested parties.
Anywho, here is the progress thus far on my latest. It is of course a pig with a pipe, bow tie, monocle, and top hat. Going for a few layers of contrast here: Realistic pencil shade vs simple line drawing; clean white space vs rough brown, etc...Kinda fun for a tattoo artist this way, similar to the way I work in that medium. Start with a simple black line drawing, then attempt render that in a more nuanced realistic way. Simple, hot press illustration board, HB pencil, torn up brown paper, and Staedtler Pigment liner pens (Awesome!). Anyway, just playing around. Will post some final pics in a few days (I hope) when it's complete.
