Description Graphite on Fabriano
Tools used: pencils 2B-7B+6B woodless pencil, tissues, cotton wool, home made tortillons, cotton buds and hog and nylon brushes (for blending), kneadable eraser, electric eraser and blutack (for erasing)
Grid method used for proportions and blown up to A3 for the final drawing.
I will leave it for a while now as i feel it is not quite there yet but i think it's pretty close. I might tinker a little later or end up leaving it like this. The bottom face was actually more difficult for me to do than the top face. Anyway it is for a traditional competition here [link]
