Description I have two weeks left to finish this portrait, I'm getting a bit nervous I'm probably 50% done. The hair is always hard to draw, I'm trying not to get too detailed but I want it to be nice and fit the look anyway.

* Staedtler Clutch pencils (HB and 2B leads)
* 3H wooden Derwent graphitepencil
* Cretacolor 4B graphite stick
* Faber-Castell black watercolor pencil
* Arches hot-press watercolor paper

Ogni volta che guardo un tuo ritratto resto pressapoco con quest'espressione ->

Vorrei avere anche solo un granello della tua pazienza e solerzia purtroppo sono molto autocritica, e se vedo che le cose non vanno come voglio, mi abbatto e lascio tutto Soprattutto le ombreggiature non sono il mio forte, non riesco a renderle con realismo.. Ho provato diverse tecniche (anche la grafite 'spalmata' con i pennelli, lo ammetto ti ho rubacchiato la tecnica!) ma con scarsi risultati purtroppo Gli occhi poi, non ne parliamo sembrano sempre quelli di un fumetto o di un cartone animato
Anyway, questa sarΓ  sicuramente un a lavoro ultimato!

Eh sì, continuerò a farlo, magari qualche altra volta verrò a bussare con insolenza alla porta del tuo deviantSpace

WOW!

I love the lips, they actually look like they're popping out of my computer screen right now, this is sooooo good.

I actually tried blending a few parts of my new drawing with a paintbrush and I must say it works really really well and it doesn't damage the paper at all and could be easily rubbed off. Whereas I normally use a blending stump or tissues to blend, it takes quite a bit to get it off.

anyways can't wait to see this finished!

I think that everyone must find which tool works for him/her.. I think brushes work for me but not for everyone. I am glad you find them helpful
