About this artist: Alby is an Australian-based artist who does traditional art - drawings, often in graphite/pencil/ink, and sometimes in coloured pastels. Alby's style lately is usually monochrome, sometimes posted with a sepia tint - it's very vivid and three-dimensional, and I love the use of shading and cross-hatching to convey depth. Alby posts largely to tumblr and AO3 these days, and often does collaborations with writers in Big Bang-type challenges. Works are in many fandoms, with the MCU being a favourite, often featuring Steve/Bucky.

Example: An earlier work in pen & ink and brush, with effective use of a little colour.
