Phoenix Face

I got on the phone with my friend Rainer and while we were talking, I doodled away the way I used to all the time back home in Manila, just filling paper with sketch after sketch of nothing in particular. This is a typically shaded super-hero face, usually used in X-men to show that a super-heroine was going dark with power. Yeah, I drew me a ton of Phoenix drawings back in the day (and apparently here too!). But I really like the line quality of the ballpoint pen. That only happens when I don't really care about the drawing so much as the act of drawing, absently, while distracted (i.e. the phone call).
