Two things inspired this picture. One was the idea of seeing things in a new way, new perspectives. Such as being much bigger than usual, or a mirror looking back at you. Second was the quote behind the topic, where it mentioned a dog and a cat - well, my dog became a wolf!
I drew this picture on some metallic A4 size paper, with 3-4 pens of various sizes. Most of it was done with a 0.3 though. I wasn't sure how the pens would react to the paper but it seemed to work fine. During the drawing I kept thinking how much it looked like an etching and I really enjoyed building up layers of marks. I've really been getting into drawing again and this topic was another excuse to make another one!

Cool idea, and, yes, it does look like an etching. Glad you'd fun. The work nearly always turns out well when you do. :-)
The animal is very storybook like. The perspective distortion adds a lot of rhythm
Sonal - The idea of 'fun' or 'play' is something that always fascinated me. I think it bypasses the rational part of the brain to create work with more honesty and emotion.
Andrew - I'm glad you picked that up, storybooks are a big influence on me. And you're right about the perspective distortion, I also find it can create a greater rhythm in and across the surface.
