Another ballpoint pen drawing. This one really frustrated me because my "magical" pen that I usually use ran out of ink near the beginning of the shading so I had to switch to an inferior pen I found laying around our office.

I call my old pen "magical" because I inherited (stole) it from my friend Chimera who is blessed with ungodly art power. Using it makes me feel like I am wielding Excalibur. I'm devastated that it is out of ink. It was just a Papermate pen but to me..it was so much more.

Due to the new cruddy pen, I had to do a few minor touch ups in Adobe Photoshop CS2. The pen itself caused the paper to warp a bit so I took a few of the wrinkles out and added a bit of highlight to the hat. I tried to keep the after effects minimal. The tint on the drawing is Adboe Photoshop CS2 as well.
