Jimmie this is great. It looks like you've mastered a new medium for yourself - right off the bat! (I knew you would, of course). I first thought you achieved all those subtle tonal variations exclusively with hatching and cross-hatching - it seemed unbelievable. I'm glad you explained how you developed this drawing, so I now know you're not God. But you have hit on a VERY effective way of working. It's a stunning piece. The beautiful, careful rendering of the subject along with those distinct, loose lines of hatching - and it's all perfectly integrated. Amazing. I can't wait to see you what you come up with next as you exploit this new way of working.
