pen & ink life drawing

[Steven Worley]

Here are some sketches I did. I've been trying a technique where you just use dots to contour the figure, then feel out the forms with short lines. My friend said the laying figures looked like they were breathing, and I think the small dotty lines contributed to that effect.

Critiques or ideas are welcome!

I like these Steven. I think the dots add a certain feel to the image that keeps it loose, yet calculated. The first thing that came to mind in that first image was a soul (the dots) leaving the body. Same for the second image too. Overall, I like these and I like the choice of medium. Good job.

this thread is from ancient times lol but im curious about what type of markers you used here. Looks very similar yo Yoji Shinkawas coloring and since I started the thread about him I was happy to find someone whos coloring looked similar to his. It looks less opaque than a regular art marker
