Description BEST VIEWED LARGE

updated with better photo

So happy to have finally finished this one 75cm x 25cm..
Im really pleased with this in fact its one of my fav drawings i think..

Graphite mechanical pencils, Sanford Ebony dark pencil,
blu tac, kneaded eraser, electric eraser
Arches 300gm bright white hot press paper

The photo came out crooked because i was trying to reduce the glare so some of the top and bottom has been chopped off.. but it still looks okay i think... it would be nice to one day have a photo that looks more true to the original however...

Hi there thankyou for your comments.. I built up lots of very light layers of pencil.. i used mechanical pencils as they give me a nice point.. there is probably about 30 layers of pencil in this drawing

wow this is gorgeous!!!
I'd love to see this scanned. I assume it's not only because what you mentioned about the glare.

rasberry6 In reply to wtfMichelle [2010-04-06 01:09:39 +0000 UTC]

its just a handheld.. i use a battery operated one technically speaking but its the same kind of thing.. you can use it to draw with by drawing in lights or by correcting mistakes.. they are fantastic.. the best one i have is made by sakura and i bought it from dickblicks
thankyou for your lovely comments also
