This work went in a totally different direction. I never used this paper before and it was somehow very hard to work with, I don't know the exact reason though. I feel like it sucked the pencil into it and it thus constantly eroded the contrast. Anyway, I didn't like this obvious concept of the left male part and the right female part and I generally prefer portrait format, so I flipped the drawing and continued this way. I think it tells a more interesting story this way and is more open to the viewer which I always like the best.
