Cowboy in Ink

The shading on his face with lots of small
 lines is something I particularly like. It gives
 him a rugged weather-beaten look. I latter
 found out it was didn't work for drawing
 ladies because they needed a much smoother 
shading.

As you can tell I did this some time ago. I met an artist in Thailand that showed me a maker (Sakura Graphic 1) that he used in his art. When we got back home my mother looked in our art materials and released we owned one. So I sat down I drew this.
