I drew this sketch while listening to a beautiful jazz CD given to me by a wonderful violist (I am dedicating this picture to him). There are three musicians playing in it - a pianist, a bass player, and a drummer. I decided to represent them using three colours. The pianist is represented with a blue pen, the bass player with a green pen, and the drummer with a red pen. Whenever I could hear one of them playing, I'd draw in that colour. Sometimes I'd blend two colours. Later, my pens started to run out. No worries - this gave me an idea! I used a sort of cross-hatching technique that gave a very soft, blended appearance. It gave an interesting effect when in contrast with the crisp lines drawn with fresh pens.
