I am pleased with the liveliness, brevity & variety of line.
I added the paint (white house-paint on unbleached—ivory—paper, hardly visible here) for two reasons. To separate the upper body from its background in a subtle way (I did consider a more compromising colour) & to modulate some of the outer lines which had become too heavy in spots. Painting over a line to decrease its thickness has an effect that erasing can't. It is a bit like the difference between a painted line & one printed with wood-block or silkscreen
