Description Hi,

First of all thanks for looking

I've probably spent more time trying to take a decent picture than I have on the actual drawing - not so happy with this one but its the best I can do at the mo

Details:
A3
Pencils - 9B, 7B, 2B, 2H
Graphite powder and paint brush
Blending - tissue, blending stump and paint brush

Cheers,

G

Edit: Updated the pic, hopefully it looks less 'harsh' -

i like the contrast in the picture, the only thing that really sort of bugs me is the model's left eye, it seems a bit larger than it should be, the lower lid a little curvier, but maybe that's just her eye? Anyway. Bravo

I understand your frustration... I wish I had an A3 scanner !! Honestly though, I think your drawing looks really good.
Beautiful Natalie.

Ahhhh! Only if you would get it scanned.. It's tottaly amazing, just the pic quality kills the shadows/highlights.. You can see it better in your ID
Anyways, it's breath taking..
