[cross hatched drawing of a stone house] I am not Dave Sim, nor do I labor under that illusion. Nevertheless, my pen was running out of ink, which meant it was easy to draw lots of small, thin lines and do some cross-hatching. Put me in the mind of a Cerebus sort of village setting. No cute animals though. And shrinking the picture down makes the lines look sharper. Oh, and I drew it on lined paper and got lazy at the end trying to edit out the lines. They're visible on the bottom. It also had one running up along the left side. Oh well.

I have a new pen now. Also, I do have a set of rapidograph pens, but I have yet to use them. I guess I'd need even thinner lines if I want to approach the level of effort of those who do really good cross-hatching work. images/Drawings/Sketches/stonehouse.png
