Expression of an Expressions Model

Let's say... 70% completed. This has been coming off a long, long line. A line of unremitting ink flow.

Paper: Flip side of egg shell drawing paper.
Media: Black Bic™ pens.

ROUND AND ROUND THEY GO

Beautiful couple they make. It was a delight working on this piece. It took longer than I'd have wanted though, but the end justifies the means.

To illustrate the latter statement, the bride's face was drawn in the space of five days, but the man's? Two hours! Two freaking hours!

I still can't fathom how I got it out in the space of so short a time, but one thing I can say with all certainty is that I discovered a hidden, untapped energy source. It's there. I just haven't been good at harnessing it.

For tech details:

Size: 10" by 12"
Paper: Chi board drawing paper
Media: Black Bic™ pens and a Corer Lucky pen.
Time taken: 14 hours.

Uncle's apple farm

Paper: Egg shell cardboard
Media: Bic™ pens and Corer Lucky pens.
