Fineliner Pen on Drawing Paper

First Stippling Work is a 2023 sketchbook drawing from a photo reference. It was the first time I tried building form with dots instead of normal shading. The stippling looks much messier than my work now, and I used different fineliner sizes in ways I would not use today. I still include it because it shows where one of my main drawing techniques started and how much it has changed since then.
