I really love that skull drawing Iki-iki!
Didja do it in pen?
Looks like you could've drawn it in Illustrator.
The lines are just flawless!

You should experiment with water colors on the skull....or something!
I'd love to see it in color. :D

Also, gimme! :lol:

:D!

Haffa Happeh New Year Iki-iki!!!

Ravenne,
Thanks!!! it was a loose pencil sketch I did outta my head at the coffee shop. I used a basically continuous pencil line to search for a skull, then I found the "right" lines with a pen. I used the "right" lines and also the "wrong' ones, turning it into a sorta visual jazz with random notes connecting lines and echoes just before and after the true beat, similar to the way Billie Holiday or Frank Sinatra do their phrasing just ahead of the beat or behind it... Blah blah.... Color? Maybe!

TSA, Sub P
thanks man(s)! You are top notch! I hear you about loose and controlled, "hold on loosely, but don't let go, if you grip too tightly, you're gonna lose control" LOL!!!

Here is a scan of the finished Tiki graphite sketch:
