HC II

               
                This was one of my first recent (this decade) experiments last year with combining marker and pencil.  I was pleased with the results. The HCII is my name for the shopping center; I could not fit the actual title in with the "ultra fine" Sharpie.  It is a small drawing, in 5" x 8" format.     I was thinking that adding a little ink to a drawing would make it photograph easier with my poor system. It did too, but took me a few tries when "gimp"ing it to avoid washing out the contrast. What do you think...   Sometimes I do the ink first like in this case and then shade with pencil.  Sometimes I do most the pencil first and then soup up the darks with the black markers as in the previous drawing.
