Have been down with an evil cold the last few days, going through the various stages of fever, vast amounts of snot and coughing and feeling generally sorry for myself. Hoping very much this one won't migrate into my lungs like that cold in India did, since that would very much suck.
Cross your fingers for me.
On account of being sick and miserable I took a few days' time out from packing boxes and working on commissions and instead just doodled a bit.
...
Bloody crosshatching.
Like art nouveau, it always seems like a good idea at first, you sketch along on something doodly, it isn't turning out, so you add just a few little scribbly lines here or there to define a shadow or angle, maybe some here for contrast and next thing you know you've spent several hours crosshatching an entire sketch that wasn't all that well composed to start with.
So yes, doctor, ninja, library, dramatic lighting and lots of crosshatching.
Now, tea! D:
