nice work, how do you do the loose hairs if you don't mind me asking?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

riverstyx27 In reply to Paul2960 [2013-06-26 19:15:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much I use a kneadable eraser by making it into a fine point. You can also use an electric eraser but they are a bit harder to control. Faber Castel makes a pencil eraser and papermater has a "Tuff stuff" eraser, its less expensive but should work just as well. I personally haven't used them but I hear they work great

Paul2960 In reply to riverstyx27 [2013-06-26 19:42:03 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the reply, and thanks for the advice! I never seem to get the loose hairs quite as well as this on my own portraits, but I will try with the kneaded eraser as you said, thanks

I keep trying to master the indenting technique, for loose hairs, witch is basically scratching the paper with a sharp knife, or needle :/ lol thanks again!

I'm glad I could help I've never heard of the indenting technique but it sounds like it requires a lot of practice. I think I'd be too scared to try it, at least with the eraser you can just redraw if you make a mistake
