Description Graphite on Fabriano
Tools used: pencils 2B-7B+6B woodless pencil, tissues, cotton wool, home made tortillons, cotton buds and hog and nylon brushes (for blending), kneadable eraser, electric eraser and blutack (for erasing)
Grid method used for proportions and blown up to A3 for the final drawing.
I will leave it for a while now as i feel it is not quite there yet but i think it's pretty close. I might tinker a little later or end up leaving it like this. The bottom face was actually more difficult for me to do than the top face. Anyway it is for a traditional competition here [link]

Thanks, oh yes i remember that thing ... it's a horrible tool in my opinion. You turn it on and the eraser head spins and you put it against your paper where it develops a mind of it's own and i will never use one again. Others may dissagree though and swear by them. I think you have to try at laest once though.

OH ! I sort of get the idea. I can imagine hours of work being chomped by the monster in a mili- second ! Thanks for the heads -up !Β

I would suggest getting your work seen by more people, share your drawings in groups with common interests and this will change.

Beautiful work Mark, this looks alive, that's the best way I can explaine it. Some work looks good on a technical level but it lacks life, your work never has that problem.
