    I think this is cool as hell. There is no right or wrong for anything you guys need to stop reading books by failed artists and do more art! Items closer to your eye are always more intense in all respects so I think that is what he is doing.

    I’m glad Mark and Clint pointed out the line-weight, I spotted it myself and thought it a bit odd. Jim, it’s a convention for a reason: it works—and I didn’t get that out of a textbook before you start.

    Even though I found it odd as well- it is only a small part of the finished illustration and is not all that distracting.
