Description
This is my daughter during her pre-wedding preparations.. Done on dura-lar, 14 x 17" with 2b, 4b, 9b graphite pencils, blending sticks and sponges. I haven't decided if it's "final" final.. may do some more on it.. why is it that I'm so reluctant to call anything done?Related content

I have a set of cheap paintbrushes, nylon I think, and I scribble graphite on a blank pad, swipe the brush across it and paint the graphite onto my drawing. build it up in layers if needed.

You're very welcome! I love Duralar for some things but it's a bit too smooth for others, all depends on what I want the outcome to be. I'm still learning, I've only been drawing about a year and have a long way to go!
