Elf Portrait # Ink

This style of portrait was actually harder to do than I thought. I made it as an experiment for another piece I have in mind. It actually took me two hours (which is a lot for a test run for me) and I killed one of my black brush-tipped pens =/. I got a black sharpie to help with this sort of thing so I can save up my last brush pen for a little longer. The portrait is of a random male elf . ..  does it even show its male???

I noticed ink scans worse than graphite XD. The original is of course darker and looks more even in strokes.
