This selection by artist John Suarez is and excellent example of cohesive and interesting optical value. the inking in the face is done by meticulous cross hatching in the direction of form. notice the tapering edges of every line so that each stroke is made with softness yet bold confidence. The hair is a framing device for the facial details adding immediate contrast to the construction of the skull. the lines form into large black areas of shadows and contrast heavily with the light features of the face. the optical value is here too, in the direction of the larger form, and on the out skirts of the figure we can see the negative black space being broken up by contrasting white lines as the highlights of the hair fade in to the chiaroscuro elements of the piece.
also this was done on a tablet witch is pretty pro.
