Assignment 3 - Finished Drawing - Ink Assorted Still Life

This is my best drawing yet! I'm so happy with the way this turned out. Although in this photo it's suffering from the ink crumpling the paper again, when you zoom in you can see the techniques used. I did some rather unusual stuff with this one to achieve my effects. The highlights on the vase, for example, have five different shades of marker so that they fade in and out properly. The twig in the lower left has dashes up and down it, and the antlers of the deer skull are just right - I put some very rough sandpaper under the picture and went over them in pencil to get the right bumpy effect. I like the colour, I like the composition... Great!
