Jimmie this is great. It looks like you've mastered a new medium for yourself - right off the bat! (I knew you would, of course). I first thought you achieved all those subtle tonal variations exclusively with hatching and cross-hatching - it seemed unbelievable. I'm glad you explained how you developed this drawing, so I now know you're not God. But you have hit on a VERY effective way of working. It's a stunning piece. The beautiful, careful rendering of the subject along with those distinct, loose lines of hatching - and it's all perfectly integrated. Amazing. I can't wait to see you what you come up with next as you exploit this new way of working.

Not God, just his brother. I'm gonna try it again for my next piece, hopefully it wasn't just luck. It will be a nude, but will just post the face if ok, or post a link to it on my site. It should be done within the next two weeks.
