Pure cross hatching, no colours. I just want to see what I can produce with this style.

I like to see how the lines evolve from scratch. Hope you enjoy this speed-painting (time-lapse) video too?!

Digital caricature theme - playing Gu Zheng (古筝)

Client's brief:-
"Hi, Mr Chong,
Are you able to customise a drawing of 伯牙&子琪 in ancient costume? I intend to send it as a gift for my friend in taiwan, so prefer to have the drawing in A4 size.
Attached are pics of 伯牙&子琪 for your kind reference.
My ideas would be:
One gentleman playing the guzheng
One lady as a listener....
May i know what is the drawing style for attached pic? color pencil or marker ? I like that drawing style very much. do you think will it goes well with the ancient costume theme?...."

The client wanted a more sketchy style.
I tried to incorporate the client's reference photos, together with Chinese Brush painting style into this artwork, with some loose sketchy lines.
A rather different from my usual drawing style?

And this guy - do they look similar? :D
I thought they are the same person at first glance when the latter sat down. But at second look, the former has a longer and slimmer face which the latter has a rounder face!
