This artwork was made for a practice in a new technique. This goal can explain what you can see here: mix of dots and lines, different strokes and other things. 

Till this moment I used only dots to draw, so now i just want vary my technique of drawing. 

I spent about 1 month for a sketch and same time for inking(~120 hours, i'd like to note that this is fast. My previous work with the same size took over 400 hours of using dots) . Anyway, there were hard months. The artwork is drawn on Arches paper with 0.3 and 0.7 Rotring isographs. Size is 75 x 50 cm and directly drawing is 65 x 40 cm.
