Henry In My Hat

A quick Cintiq sketch of Henry done last night during a work break. I used one of my favorite photos of him as reference.

What's interesting and important to keep in mind when drawing digitally is that the aesthetic relies entirely on composition rather than on any materiality. Meaning that everything that's important occurs  in how you lay down the lines, blacks, colours etc. and not in the look of the material itself like ink, charcoal, watercolour etc. I'm realizing that the lack of materiality is one of its defining features. I'm not sure this is entirely detrimental but it's something to be aware of.
