Your technique is so much more robust and deliberate than mine. I am almost afraid to lay down heavy images right off the bat like that. It takes me 4 or 5 layers to bring things up to a good darkness where you are nailing it in one or two passes. I think I may try to be a bit more confident so my drawings don't take 20 hrs to do LOL.

I suppose a person needs to see others work in order to judge what is really required to create an image. You did in 2 minutes what I would have messed with for 10, and with a harder lead to boot!

Hi and thanks for the comments. I love sharing with other artist Oh and i put down about 3 layers of 3b on the hair, blending in-between each. Have to say over the last few years I've gone darker and darker right off the bat. My portraits take forever toooo, 20 hours and much more. I only do a small part at a time and tend to go over the same areas a lot....I think if i would just leave it alone and move on i'd finish a lot faster ...I'm still learning and trying to push myself to new levels....tis fun for the most part.

Thanks again and take care~Linda

Lots of practice and taking it slow are key for a work of art... never ever rush a drawing because it will look it!

Hi and thank you for the comments, i may finish this one soon..kinda lazy latly with my portraits. If you click on that little arrow under the image the video will play...I'm not to sure if it will play for everyone, I'm kinda new at making and uploading vids to DA.
