Billie Jean has an interesting sketchy style. His images are very carefully composed. He uses different types of mark making and blocks of color to emphasise certain parts. To keep the sketchy quality his work is drawn in blue ball point pen, and I imagine he doesn't use any type of correctional fluid. The little mistakes and overlapping lines you see contribute to the authentic quality of the marks.
He draws different subject material, from cartoon dogs to pixel smiley faces, peace signs and and basketball players. The shoe looks traced; but considering it's an ad for a shoe; it needs to be less stylized than everything else in the picture. Personally I see why his style and drawings would be appealing, but I prefer more refined styles, even for sketching. If it's a big commercial poster, it shouldn't have as many overlapping lines.

Well done for starting this but it is the wrong image. Please refer back to the lesson post and ensure you write an in-depth analysis on this image asap. It is more relevant to your work...
