This was something I'd actually started a long time ago. One of those pieces that sits around the studio looking at me with disapproving eyes wondering 'when will I be finished?'. Today is the Day. And not the crappy band.

I should've taken some process shots for the final steps, but I forgot. Some colored pencil and watercolor pencil to shade the head and neck. Big 'ol Pilot marker for the text.
