Grey Scale


I saw my friend Butch Belair drawing one day and he used a light grey magic marker. I love how it looked so I gave it a try myself. I like the result. Ordinarily I would crosshatch the shadow. It appears more real this way. It's a nice little tool to add the repertoire. I just got back from a trip to Asia with my wife. I went to South Korea, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Beijing. So as a result there will be a lot of new interesting sketches and stories on the way.

nice touch. I've been doing that for some time. When I first started, it was very enlightening. I still love how it turns out.http://bldawley.blogspot.com/2006/09/sick-day.html
try using them over cross hatches. it can define a dimension or window even more.

Dayum, that grey shadow is convincing. Very nice, Tommy.

Looks like a great addition indeed. I like your distinctive scetch style.
