It's harder than it looks. Everything you use pencil on becomes this ghostly white, any erasor marks become white-ish, any shavings or spots on the paper become white, like stars. Blue ballpen becomes a golden yellow color, and folds in paper become so visible.. Quite fun to experiment.

Wicked awesome. I love his head/the drool in his mouth, if that's drool. It took me a sec to realize he had eyes and all--I thought the spirals/drool *were* his head... but anyway. Good luck--he looks great!!!

I would imagine this dragon to be fairly dangerous, especially at night.. smoke can be difficult to see sometimes..

Actually it's smudged b4 pencil. Just childishly smudged with my own fingers, like you smudge charcoal.

Normal pencil on normal white copier paper, then made negative with standard scanner options. Quite low-tech and cheap but fun to toy with. I have more in my gallery, with pen and such, also negatives.
