Monochrome markmaking

For the portrait, I figured out the composition as I went along - starting with the face. For the hair and lips, I decided to choose similar letters for a more varied and lively approach. I love the outcome and had fun producing a portrait like this.

On the right is an acrylic painting of a tap. I was not allowed to use any brushes. I enjoyed the entire process and I feel the piece is dynamic, with the range of textures showing through. The string was surprisingly versatile.
