Cross-Hatching and Micron Pens

I spent three breaks on this sketchbook entry. Once I started making hatch marks, I was having too much fun to let the drawing go unfinished. I still have so much to learn when it comes to composing and finishing my drawings. Cross-hatching in an involved process with a lot of little decisions that can really impact the look and feel of a drawing in progress (for good and bad). A lot of practice and a lot of study will be the key to getting better at this technique.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!
