| Pen & Ink on Bristol Board. I transferred the drawing with graphite paper and used a brush marker for the solid dark areas and a Micron Pen (#2) for the pointillism. Pay attention to the patterns of lights and darks, even the subtle changes. I usually start with the dark areas. |

| Scratchboard on Ampersand Scratchbord. I transferred the drawing with white transfer paper. I used a fiberglass brush (the small one) for the white area. I cleaned up the edges with a scratch knife (Ampersands version). I used the wire brush on the top of the head along with a scratch knife. I could do this entire piece with one tool such as a #11 exacto knife or a scratch knife (many artists work with one tool). |

| Pen & Ink on Bristol Board. I transferred the drawing with graphite paper and a Micron Pen (#2) for the pointillism and cross hatching and hatching. Pay attention to the patterns of lights and darks, even the subtle changes. I usually start with the dark areas, here I was demonstrating certain areas for students. |
