Evelyn Waugh Revisited

I've recently been looking at some old work and noticed that in the past, when creating a digitally drawn caricature, I seemed to have used a lot more marks than I generally do now. Here's an old image from 2010 of Evelyn Waugh that shows a level of mark-making that I would now probably avoid; not because I don't like the look but that these days I'm liking trying to achieve the image I'm after with fewer (and more 'abstract') lines. Nothing's written in stone though and I'm sure this kind of approach will swing back round at some point...
