You will be using your name or if you prefer your nick name or first name, what ever option you prefer, but only one of them. You will be using primarily black ultra-fine sharpie, pilot fine point marker, good ink pen, medium and thick points using them together to distinguish line weight when creating your composition. this is mainly to build out your highlights, mid-tones, shadows, shading, gradients. be aware of contrast in your composition, positioning of your portrait density in areas necessary. Pay attention to mark making and craftsmenship. The more refined features that may be delicate require finer points etc... Pay attention to details, shape and/or style to create different values and shapes in your composition. Remember your values... broad range of dark to gradual lighter pallette when appropriate.
