Drawing 1 -- Pen and Ink Self Portrait

Our assignment was to do a self portrait using a quill pen and ink on drafting film. The film does not readily accept ink and beads up. The photograph does not show all the beaded detail but it is very interesting. I found that I absolutely love quill pens. Once I start, I just want to scribble. It is a lot of fun and very liberating. When I do the self portraits I seem to have a really serious look on my face, but most of the time I'm not like that. I'm just having a good time.
