This was done on a sheet of paper that had seen better days. I don't know if you can see them, but that explains the random dots and the big crease in the corner. The sketch was inspired by a book I was reading about the Golden Age of Dutch Art. I must admit, though, the drawing certainly doesn't look like anything produced in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Still, it was delightful to think about Rembrandt, Lievens, Hals, Steen, and countless other astounding geniuses while drawing it. So, despite how the drawing turned out, I consider the time working on it to be time well spent.
