Description
Grace Kelly, a true beauty.My stupid scanner missed most of the subtle shading. Time to buy a better scanner.
4h and 2b pencil on 9"x12" Strathmore Bristol smooth. Photoshop used to clean up scanning problems.

Thank you, I've since learned to play around with the histogram when scanning which has given a slightly better result.

Lots of fine tuning with a mechanical pencil and blending stump. btw, bristol paper is very forgiving with the eraser

That dress is amazing. I feel like I could reach out and really feel that it's satin and see that it's shiny.
Great work ^_^ this is just mindblowing
