Ink Wash Still Life

I've been unusually interested in puppets lately, Don't ask why but this is a still life with two hand puppets and a hat.  The one on the left is one that I made, a cow wrapped in bacon, and the one on the right is one that I purchased, a shark

I find ink incredibly challenging.  Especially since we are not to use white ink to lighten values that we take too far,  I would really enjoy pulling out some highlights, but it is what it is.  

Sock Puppet Wrapped in Bacon.

It may seem a little odd to some, but I do enjoy making weird little things like this every now and then, this is a sock puppet cow.... obviously wrapped in bacon.  

As everyone knows, you can wrap ANYTHING in bacon and make it just that much better... and that goes double for a fine cut of steak.  I suggest you go to any Brazilian Churrascaria and sample all of their bacon wrapped products, you won't be disappointed.  Until then, enjoy this tastey bovine. ...
