Description This is a graphite pencil drawing of a character called DAWN
she appears in comic publications by Joseph Michael Linsner.

This is my interpretation of one of Joe's pieces.

I used some new materials and techniques (new for me anyway)
on this drawing. materials used were:
220 g/m heavyweight Windsor & Newton Cartridge paper,
Graphite pencils: 3H, 4H, 4B, and a black pencil from a color pencil
set (polychromos) for the outlines and darkest areas.
This was new for me mixing standard graphite pencils with a black
(color) pencil.
another new technique for me was using cotton wool for blending, and a
kneadable artists rubber for bringing back the highlights.
Was very pleased with the result, and certainly will be using the cotton
wool all the time in future.

I'm guessing you posted this because you don't see it in your gallery. I have the origional and it appears to still be there. I've noticed this error in a lot of galleries. This is a spratic long standing problem first seen in previous dA versons.

Only time will make the first deviation appear in gallery.
