We paid a visit to Alex Lloyd at Debut Studios in London to find out what techniques he uses to create his incredibly precise fine line illustration work.
Alex created this awesome, detailed design - including a broken sword, planets in orbit and one very dead astronaut - using black, white and greywash inks.
Check out the video to see how Alex approaches this kind of work!
