Scribble - Orang Utan

Description

When I heard it, I was totally astonished:

The Malay name 'orangutan' means 'forest man'.

You ask, why I am surprised?

Well, quite often PencilHB is in the forest, for that he describes himself sometimes as a 'forest man' – ups

(I do not know, if I want to use the Malay name)

Steps

In a scribble drawing my pencil gets a lot of freedom.
The sketch and the contour lines are done exactly (with the grid method).
The shading is done by ‘wild scribbling’, these are squiggly lines that generate a relatively solid surface impression.
If possible, I do not use hatching.
For a further darkening I use an blue ink pen (on the paper this gives a slight blue tint - here I have converted the image to grayscale)

1. Finedrawing with the grid method (without a predrawing)
2. Finedrawing (pencil)
3. Finedrawing (pencil)
4. Finedrawing (pencil)
5. Darkening with a pen
