Nicely done

I took a class in India Ink Illustrations that demonstrated various strokes like cross hatching, stippling and other pen marks that will all add shading, depth, texture, as well as build the illustration in layers. Haven't picked up a pen I years, and now my hands tremble too much to even start.
