Aw thanks! My scanner tends to show every pencil stroke, it looks a bit better in person!

Thank you!

And I don't mind! A mechanical pencil is a hollow pen that's refillable with lead (that you never have to sharpen!) I call them clicky pencils but I think "mechanical pencil" is the correct tech term for it

thank you! They actually weren't as hard as I thought they'd be, once I convinced myself that they don't have to come out tit for tat from the original

Hair is actually my favourite part of doing portraits! Thanks for your wonderful words!

Ahuvah In reply to ellastasia [2008-09-09 01:01:55 +0000 UTC]

Is it ? That's wonderful. Hair has so far become the hated part for me. I just can't seem to get it right.

aw I can't say I'm perfect at it either--I think I like the big long flowy lines over the minute pencil strokes for detail work
