Practice.
It's been so long since I've held a pencil in my hand that I wasn't sure if I even own some. Had to search for at least 10 minutes before I found one amongst a million of ballpoint pens.

Nothing's more fun to shade than leather or metal, and Kroenen's got it all! I've been wanting to draw him for quite a while anyways.
The sketch had blood all over that piece of wall, but I erased it. I guess Mr. ninja nazi bot looks creepy enough by himself.
...woah, I've read some of the comics almost three years ago, but I saw the first movie just yesterday.

Tools: cheap printing paper, blue pencil (sketch), one 4B pencil which bravely gave it's life (now I got none left), electric eraser, opaque white, chapstick (really), chalk, a wax crayon, needles, photoshop for putting it together ( background's on a separate piece of paper.) and whatever the hell I could find.

Time: 5 hours or sth. Was waiting for the moment when it's starts to look finished, but that didn't come, so I decided to keep drawing until I get hungry. I'm hungry. So I'll upload this now and go cook something.

And: I probably got his head all wrong, too lazy to search reference, my hands are black, lighting's off, ah well.
