I saw this picture on Tumblr and thought it would be a fun thing to draw. I started by outlining the deer head and did all the shading using dots. It took me about two hours from start to finish.

This is sort of a work in progress that I’m doing. It’s a little creepier than I expected but I still think it will turn out cool when I’m finished.
