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' -

Wonderful use of light and shadows! The only thing that strikes me is that her left neck isn't very clearly defined - you might want to darken it just a tad (her left neck, so on the right of the picture 
Then again, maybe that's what you were aiming for, in which case: it worked!

Looks really nice! but yes the photo could be better, maybe if you tried to change that green light in PS, it could change a lot.
But we can still see it's very well drawn!:]

Yes you can try and see if it gets better. Look under image and adjustments, I think it's call that in the English version.
No problem^^

Yo Skills! This is pretty phenomenal work!
Yeah, it's a struggle trying to shoot B&W work, you have to have just the right angle of the sunlight. I think scanning is best for B&W work, but if the drawing is way bigger than the scanner bed, I guess you are just right back at square one?

Awesome job on this Graham. You should invest in a scanner, works much better than a camera in most instances. Good to see you are still drawing man! Keep it up!

Thanks man. I should get one yeah, do you have one? If so which model do you have?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I have one. Anything in my gallery that has a white background was through my scanner. I have the Canon Canoscan 8400F. I bought it a few years ago, not sure if it has been replaced with a newer model. But it works really good for me. It washes out lighter tones, but I just correct that in image editting software. I think most scanners have this problem.
