Here’s another half hour sketch I completed with a purple Sharpie to play around with blacks and how they change a piece. I don’t really like it much as there isn’t nice detail anywhere and the proportions are off quite a bit on the face. Still, it’s not terrible and proved effective for the exercise, as hair can be particularly difficult to sort when there is heaving lighting effects involved on a figure. I thought of backlighting the head a bit but that proved to be a bit much with less than 30 minutes to work and only a Sharpie on hand to draw the piece. Not surprsingly, it looks a lot nicer the more I shrink it down. Damn that blunted Sharpie.
