The light keeper
Ink drawing - 21cm x 29,7 cm
This drawing resulted from my wanting to draw something with nib & ink and try to give it an engraving like texture. The subject "centaur" was given by the "Character Design Challenge" on facebook. So it became a centaur with horse head, holding a lantern so that I could play around with the technique.

A short video to show the tedious work of texturing the background.
Patience...
And a close up photograph, while the background texture was still in progress.

After I finished this piece one might say that I have had enough of this nib & ink detail work, but honestly it encouraged me to practice this more and try to create more drawing with this technique, exploring its possibilities.
