Black Sheep Drawing

Encountered a couple of black sheep in a field along the banks of the River Exe the other day which led to the mixed media drawing 'Fifty Shades Of Black' below. I've used a range of different tools here including pencil, ball-point pen, copic marker, watercolour pen and highlighter pen. The copic marker is running out of ink which gave some interesting and varied texture to the marks. At points I let the edges of these marks guide the more detailed line work with the biro. This is a fun reversal of the normal way of working where the colour is used to fill in the shapes defined by the lines (and I find it works equally well with cartoons).
