Description WIP of the portrait of Jean Harlow ([link] ), bristol paper, 44,5 x 34,8 cm, graphite pencils (2H to 8B), nearly 34h.

The last picture is the scan, the others are photos (that's why their quality is worse...).

Stanbos In reply to LucentAllure [2012-07-15 07:52:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot ! I had to be patient, a lot, for this area x) I first give global contrasts, and then I add details and I use a kneaded eraser to accentuate contrasts...
