I couldn't leave it alone. So I went back in with some acrylic paint and whatever marker I could get. This was supposed to be a quick one but I've been at it over 30 minutes now.


This is pretty bad, and I am tempted to replace it. I was working with this technique with my non major drawing class.

Done with a Sanford KING SIZE permanent marker. Oh, the fumes.
Time: 10 minutes
