Description Pencil in Sketchbook.  This one was definitely a cut-back on the time it takes for me to complete a drawing.  It took roughly two hours over the course of two weeks.  It's an older drawing; some events in my life prevented me from uploading it earlier.

I wanted to re-approach crosshatching --- I've never been great at it with pencil.  As can be seen in these three examples, I have had some trouble defining texture using the technique.

I believe I might have finally been able to slay that beast, at least partially.  It's odd that pen seems to make cross-hatching a bit more intuitive for me.  I used the pencil to fill in regions as though they were shaded regularly.  I was a lot more delicate and careful with this one, as well.  I believe that might have been the key to my relatively greater success.  The subject matter is a bear-ish skull.  It's definitely not an accurate representation, though.  What do you think?
