I might give it a try, but I am working on a drawing for my brother currently.

No worries, no hurry. Whenever you get around to it.

Sorry for not updating. I drew a very bad rabbit earlier yeaterday, or maybe it was the day before, can't remember. Working on a monkey right now (haven't drawn one before). My brother hasn't lent me his Ipad since the "day of the gold fish," so nothing new with digital art.

Its made with a black pen. I did also use a white gel pen for the hair and for the highlights on the eyes.

Your work always has a wonderful 3D quality to it, due to your expert shading. Nicely done and quite realistic. Do you block in the major shapes first?

I usually use a pencil to sketch it in first, with simple shapes. So for example, I sketched out the face first in the monkey, but not the hair, since its just black anyways. The update I posted yesterday was right after I erased the pencil. Once I draft the shapes that need to be well porportioned, I start coloring and shading with pen. I found a new pen yeaterday, which works great.

About how long would you say that monkey took you to do?

Looking back at my photos, I would say 1-2 hours, but I did rest in between.
