Charlie Chaplin in ink Artist:  Susan Lorraine Weselnick
Title:  Charlie
Year Created:  Fall, 2003
Medium:  Technical Pen
Width:     9 inches
Height:  12 inches
Theme:  People
Edition Size:  Original

Description:  Created in Koh-i-Noor technical pens, this piece is the second in a series of sketches using the technique of "loose inking."

Charlie was primarily created in crosshatched lines which provides a significant amount of control over texture and tonality.  His vest was given a symmetrical weave pattern for variety and his hair was created from randomly scribbled lines.  His shoes were shaded in using the technical pen much in the same way that a pencil would create shading.  This piece was created using a variety of nib sizes from 6x0 to 0.
