Description

Hello!

Well this is something very new and very old :) I finished this drawing several years ago and have cherished it since. I did not know I could do something like this! So, the style is new, for you all! In case you are wondering, those are tiny little dots. I believe the technique is called pointilism. Not sure about the spelling of that though.

It took several days to finish and was completed with a black fine point ink pen. I was very pleased and surprised with the outcome, considering I had no idea what I was doing! I apologize for the darkness of the paper though. The scanner I have access to is pretty old :(

The original is approximately 11 x 14. I will try to get a larger image and a reference up soon but I'm not sure when I will have access to the scanner again.

For now, please enjoy something very different from me!

It's pretty weird actually, they sing the segment of music with different instruments and on several voices, kinda like jazz with a rock influence in my opinion. I'm not really an authority so I cannot be more precise.
