In Smooth Shaded you don&#8217;t get the eyes, but you&#8217;d be compositing those in via a line-art render. The problem with this kind of fine hatching is that as soon as you start to reduce it in size, it smushes down into a smudgy haze.  For a comic one would have to spend a lot of time fine-tuning it and making it consistent for, say, a 10&#8243; Kindle screen.  Still, nice for one-off illustrations, and a bit of smart blur gets you a pencil-smudged effect without damaging the linart.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an earlier attempt, with a more Bernie Wrightson look.
