pen and ink 2day

Super tired from last night's class. Twas fun. Doesn't mean I'm going to be sloppy on the pen and ink side. No scratchiness..at least I'm trying not to...I actually need to get back into this kind of stuff..used to do it a lot..do entire landscapes and faces in pointillism pen and ink/stipple style. It's actually very relaxing, especially in conjunction with another task (say, watching a movie and doing this or cooking while drawing, etc) so you don't get bored with multiple dots and hatching lines. I tried to keep the actual colouring-in to a minimum but I couldn't resist with the core-shadow for one electrode. Those things are always so interesting (not core shadows..the electrodes) because you can't exactly buy one in Walmart..lol. That would be really creepy seeing customers walking out with a seven foot long bulb :S
