Cross-Hatching Practicing

Cross Hatch of my son Max's face

 Cross Hatch of my son Max's Ear


...don't you want to see what it has to say...
....anything  and everything... to be true.

...don't you want to see who or what is hiding inside...

...OptiFlow Needles pen ... Ear approx. 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" .... Portrait approx. 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"

...and I was disappointed that I made a wrinkle in my paper...  (just above his upper lip)  ...darn...
