Formal training here, including 3 1/2 years of life drawing, but it isn't my degree field. I prefer to work with pen and ink and scratchboard because it IS precise. There is no undo, and even if you cover a mistake, the paper still shows the marring. I like the challenge. This is "Istarreth", an illo for a story published in Fantasy Magazine back in 1984... one of the very few pieces I've scanned. Sorry about the width, but anything smaller and the circles turn to mush. Carolly
