Man, this is just so nice!
Face, pose, masks, lines...

Aw geeze, thanks so much! I'm going to try to add more variations of skulls, mask ideas, and poses of Veter. I might go for different face explorations too and see which one settles best for me after experimenting and input from you folks!

Thanks a ton for the compliments!~

what sort of pen are you using for these?! plus, loving those skull renditions

Oh man, you made me dig it out of my back pack while fumbling in the dark to find out!

It's a Precise V7 Rolling Ball pen. I don't know how much they cost, but I just found it laying around my house and it provides really good inks! It's almost like a felt tip pen, but it's smooth like a ball-point.

The colored parts are Sharpie Accent highlighters. I got a tin of 20 of them for $12, the fat ones that have orange, light orange (which is more like a yellow), yellow, green, blue, and pink. But I also use the 12 pack ones, the ones that are thinner and come with a plastic case that have a whole rainbow of them!

Thanks a ton, I'm actually doing many more studies like this, so keep your eyes peeled since I have pages full of them.

oh very nice. i was browsing my local art supply store and saw the same brand and tested it. i really have to check again and see if they're in stock, plus i should try out highlighters since i would have never guessed they could be used like this.

keep on posting those studies, its refreshing to see someone with your skill working with such references.
