Description Are you, like me, one of those nosy people who like to see a persons drawing process? If so, this is for you!

I wasn't actually intending on putting this together but because I was so worried I'd accidentally destroy the picture halfway through somehow (sit on it, drop it in a lasangna, etc) I kept scanning it so that I could preserve it in some form.

I don't do much building up when doing a portrait, I just lightly sketch it out and then attack it. All in a 2b pencil (I probably should use one of the big sets but I haven't got round to it). I don't like gridding it out first or do measuring, I just like to try and get it as much as I can from looking at it XD

I'm aware there's a bit of a leap at the end but at that point I was in something of a rush.

This is awesome! I'm not a big fan of the gridding and measuring nonsense either, so I always try to eyeball it.I would probably die if I tried to do that all in 2b

Cheers XD Yup, I'm with you all the way. And lol 2b isn't so bad XD It's quite a cooperative pencil.
