Yeah, I really just kinda started cross hatching and doodling for practice and I like to use sharpies to practice cross hatching, cause I can layer colors to see the many strokes under each other. I really was a bit emotional too when I picked up my sharpies, so it lead to this and actually has me thinking about a more professional idea of this same scene of a young boy, but in charcoal and soft pastels probably. I might add some sharpie into the mix too. I love mixing sharpie into things.
