From The Line: It Is Drawn.

Never let it be said that tools don’t matter. They really do. I use The Line: It Is Drawn as sort of an experimental leap pad for new techniques and general practice, and I have to say, no brush in my collection besides the Windsor Newton Kolinsky Sable Series 7 #4 could have done the hatching in this piece half as well as it turned out.

A little on the topic: it started out as illustrating a comics character with a song lyric, in this case, from the Sex Pistols. I thought it was a brilliant match, and decided to add a few more elements to the mix: namely, a political angle and a playing card theme. They seemed to fit together on paper, so I went with it. Incidentally, given that the “A” is not the same as an upside-down “V” this does not work as an actual playing card. Even without the lyrics running down the side, which I almost forgot to put in. I don’t apologize for the stock art background. I didn’t think I’d be able to do my planned composition justice in the time before it was due.

This was brilliantly executed. Fantastic piece.
