Description Completed on the 21st of April, 2010.
ink on canvas, touched up and subtle colourisation with GIMP
based on photo by Jaime Ibarra [link]

This is an experiment with using hard black lines to produce a soft effect and multi layered transparency. No easy task but I believe it has been successful.

Great work on the crosshatching. The illusion of transparency is really well done.

i think you did a particularly wonderful job on this one, i really love how eyecatching the cloth is, how despite the line work, it looks so smooth, so soft and whatnot.

great work <3

jamindavey In reply to iambahuns [2010-05-02 12:01:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure exactly how much time I spent drawing it altogether. I've got a new game that takes awhile for my computer to load, so every time I had to reload a level I would add a few more lines to this. It was finished after a few days.
