Description

I thought I'd show the process of how I did this drawing. Hope it's of interest. 

Pencil stage. I'd done a rough sketch before this and set it aside whilst working on another drawing. After about 30 mins I came back to this and with fresh eyes could see the changes that needed to be made. It's a simple enough thing to do but a process which has taken me several years to discover. I've been doing this stuff online since 1997. Sheesh!

Once the detailed sketch has been tweaked, sometimes left on the back bunrer for another session, I do the ink layer using a simple Bic fine biro.

Next, once the ink's dry I erase all the sketch lines.

Next I block fill using an 6B (soft) pencil, then smudge it evenly with my finger.

Then I add the shading areas withthe same pencil but keep it to the edges.

Once that's done I set to using a torchon. Basically a rolled taper of paper that smudges the graphite.

Lastly erase the pencil shading that's gone outside the lines using a sharp eraser.

Scan and the play with it a bit more in Photoshop using the burn and dodge tools.

Hope this gives you a bit of an insight to how I do what I do.

Thanks for making it this far in the "blurb".
