This drawing is just as sloppy as my other one hour draw/one hour inks - it's just a lot to go through. I've taken weeks on such drawings in the past. Good to keep loose and with a good pace, I guess and work on style just by having it happen. The looseness of the lines reminds me of Pettibon, the all-around shading reminds me of Robbie Conal.
This technique works best when you create tight lines and I really faulter when there's wide expanses of area, like Justin's forehead, that needs to be shaded in. I also snuck in some lines to outline changes in form - not really something that's pure of this technique, but I think I'll keep it.
I also like when I just make those broad pen strokes - sort of controlled Bleeeeeeeh, which is different from the sloppiness I was noting. Makes the form a little less wooden.
I'm going to have to figure out the sloppiness thing though. Just be patient, I guess, or, perhaps figure out a way to guide my pen along lone lines? Take breaks half-way through the line? I don't know, yet.
The ink I'm using has a sort of reflection to it - it's not flat and taking pictures with it sort of sucks. Crap ink.
