Thank you!
Basically I just use mechanical pencils and rubbers, and zoom in really close on the reference picture to see all the details. That's all there is to it really!

no way
at first i really thot it was a photograph! but after i looked closely, yea, u definitely can see the graphite texture going on
my goodness, u really delivered it well
how can u get that shading quality? i mean, it does look like a real human skin texture!
great job! love this piece

Thanks very much! I appreciate it
I just used lots of layers and sort of dabbed it with a kneadable eraser to try and get the texture. I tried really hard on that part, I'm glad you noticed!

moeT-moeT In reply to nobodysghost [2008-04-05 19:38:00 +0000 UTC]

wow, that sounds like hard work no wonder u spent 16 hours on that, and it all pays off
thanx for telling me the trick, i might practice it later ^^
