Love the line work. Great personality and variety to the lines as well. I really love the connected lines,I really like how you captured so much detail and energy in this sketch. Wonderful angle as well.

Great work as always, ziinyu!

This is fantastic. Line is honestly where you really soar. There's so much personality in the markmaking, and I love these sort of ghostly form that comes out. I feel like there's really a person there, but it stays ephemeral because of the delicacy of each individual line. I love it. I love the creepy blank eyes and the areas of shading. This is one of my favorites of your work.

It's awsome how you capture everything necessary in just a sketch.

Thank you so much - that's such a confidence boost right now.

A lot of the time I'm concerned with leaving too much out - or including too much extraneous line. Finding that balance, of only drawing that which is necessary, is something I've been working on for the past few years. I think I still have a ways to go, but it's good to know that it's starting to pay off.
