Mark Making and Tone

Today we began Mark Making and Tone. Mark making is an excellent way of shading or adding texture to add depth to an image. I began by going back to the Christopher Lee Dracula image that I drew last week. I replicated that image a few times and playing around with it in different ways such as drawing continuous line to make an image or by adding texture to line work rather than space.

I'm not too keen on either of these images and feel the latter piece looks more like Chairman Mao than it does Christopher Lee. I need to investigate mark making more.
