Description Ok .. stage 2 of my drawing of Holliday Grainger. For those of you that have asked for video, i did try .. honest. My equipment is not that good and the result was unwatchable and showed nothing you could see. I have not given up on the idea yet though .. i just need to give it some more thought.

This is very helpful. I find it hard to do blonde flyaway hair. Even if I use a tiny triangle of eraser, the hair still seems to be too thick. I can't seem to get the hang of fine hairs. But this tutorial has given me a lot of advice, I need to keep practising I guess!

You're welcome, i'm the same when it comes to hair. i've tried ink, white pencil, kneadable eraser, electric eraser and now pencil eraser. I've just started another with white hair and i've promised a tutorial so if the drawing doesn't end up in the bin (which sometimes happens) i should have something to share .. just have to see where it goes and if it works. Yes your right about the practice, that never stops.

Well I look forward to the next drawing, and hope it doesn't end up in the bin! Electric eraser is something I've never heard of before, I will have to look into that!

To be honest i don't like the electric one bit, hard to control when it's on but each to their own. Always worth giving it a go to see if you get on with it. Yes i've already binned one this week after three days work .. hate it when that happens

oh don't be impressed by my, the comfort of digi is to copy paste one pearl a thousand times, i save time that way, you have to do them all omg my admiration for the good pencil artists is boundless, i never succeeded in that artform, not good enough, but digi is my medium
you will make something amazing, i just know it, it is looking so great already
good fun and courage to proceed
