Two Bens

Graphite and Graphitint Ben
On the left side of the spread, Ben in Mars Lumograph 8b pencil and graphiting pencils, wetted with a brush.
Blind Contour of Ben
And on the right side of the spread, Ben in pen and Neocolor II, as a blind contour.
I think this one captures his decidedly wonky personality.

  1. They are both cute but the second one does have a lot of personality.

  2. These are both great. My favorite is the contour drawing with lines & color ... the design turned out very nice.

    I really like the bottom one. Those horizontal and vertical lines really add texture. And I have a fondness for pink noses.

  5. I like them both! Ben's little black chin really does make him look like he's smiling. Of course, he probably IS smiling, so, well he would then, of course, naturally looks like he is ... and, well ...
    You know what I mean. :-)

  6. I like them both! I couldn't do as well as you did with the blind contour even with looking! Great job on his eyes in the "peeking" one!
