Description

Jasper is taking a nap underneath the protective branches of an oak tree. Someone was even kind enough to drape a blanket over him...

I tried some new things in regards to crosshatching technique here, and I like the result! I was originally inspired by the ink works of Frank Frazetta, who was truly masterful at indicating organic shapes with his crosshatching, so I figured I could learn from it and incorporate some of it into my own work. Let me tell you though, I needed to take on this drawing in multiple sessions - When there's so much intricate hatching in an image, you gotta give your hand an occasional break from those repetitive movements XD
