Dukat

I had to reformat my computer and in between all the hair-pulling and teeth-knashing steps of reinstalling the whole thing I kept working on this sketch of Gul Dukat ( Deep Space 9 series ).
Some time into the defragmentation of the C drive I decided to ink this piece- I've only inked one finished piece in my life and not with felt pens either and so was fully prepared for the likelihood of ruining a nice drawing but that didn't happen.
In fact, I got brave and darkened the ink around his features which made the drawing pop out more.
Next day, during program installations on the computer, I finished a few details and put a wash of blue water colour over it and really like how it turned out. I will try doing more cross-hatching in the future since this, my second real attempt at it, turned out this well.
