Adventures in Pointillist Sepia

I chose Kurt Cobain for this pointillist picture.  I think his face was very expressive and the entire time I worked on this picture I felt sadness coming from his eyes.  Anyone that draws, paints or takes photographs knows that there is a certain intimacy with the subject as you observe them very closely.  The eyes were my favourite part to do on this picture.  I used Artline brown, yellow, orange and black markers, nib sizes 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and 0.1.  I enjoy using these "sepia" tones to create an image as it gives it a more realistic look than  black and white.
