Although this drawing does not look finished, the beginnings of the rough sketch style is starting to form. If you look at it closely, the dark lines create a sense of movement and it reminds me of the static on a radio if you haven't found a channel. All the dark lines have small white gaps in between which creates a comic book feel to it as well. The drawing of the human face is done to correct proportions with perfect shading to compliment it. The eye looks realistic enough that it catches your attention, which is the power of perfecting eyes.
Anyway to create this static movement effect, it is similar to cross hatching except you don't overlap lines unless you want to create some very dark shading. You shade using only direction of line, for this instance the lines are mostly going left diagonally downwards. The idea is you try and shade quickly which adds to the sense of movement in the drawing, try not to curve your lines while you shade as all the lines here are kept fairly sharp. A good way to start adding this shading effect is to draw a light outline of what you're drawing then determine where you need to shade. Although the above drawing is done in pen, you can still use a pencil to create this effect. If you're using a pencil try to keep it sharp while doing this type of shading to keep the lines consistently thin.
