Pen and Ink

Broke out the nibs, brush and a bottle of Black Star for my lunch doodles today. It gave me a very different line and slower than I get with the prismacolor pens I normally work with. I liked the end result and found the slower process very relaxing :)

• Once I receive your request I will look it over to see if I feel it is something doable and send you an invoice.
• When you receive the invoice and send payment I will get a batch of 3 concept sketches based on your description, and references, done and emailed to you.
• You will then choose one of the 3 and make any final notes/changes in your reply.
• From there I will work on the final piece and let you now when it is done and sent off in the mail (if you purchased the original)

Things to know:

• If you chose OPTION 1 I will email you when the finished work has been mailed off as well as a small digital version.
• You can add a character to the drawing for $10 US.
• Keep in mind the size of the work area (9 X 12 inches) when thinking of what you want drawn, more characters or full body will mean less space for details.
