Thumb Sketch

Pretty boring, I know.  But sitting at my desk and commenting on the Hunt, I realized I hadn't sketched one for my own Hunt since the Halloween sketch.  I numbered it Number 1 instead of 2.  Sigh...

I scanned it twice once in pure gray tones and once in black and white.  The gray was light and I sharpened it to get stronger lines.  The black and white one has more contrast but it picked up black like dust and the scanner was pretty clean.  Hmmmm.  I usually scan in the gray.  Now I know why it is much closer to the actual sketch.


Number 1 thumb gray scan - Sketched in the Conda sketchbook half page with a Pilot ball point pen.


And in black and white.  It looks a little like charcoal dust, eh?
