Description
I'm a little, well, a big bit nervous about posting this
Some of my lovely dA friends have asked how I draw unblended skin. I also get asked a lot about the different papers I use, so with a little nudge from I've put together a little tutorial type thing to cover them both. Christina sweetie, this is for you
I hope it's helpful to some of you

P.S. I ran out of space on my tutorial, but just to say these scans are pretty close up so you can see whats going on. To see the skin unblended in a drawing, I used this method in these drawings -

So many thanks for this, very useful indeed. The very light layering to start is something that's passed me by, I'll try that with my next drawing. Great stuff and more please!

Your tutorial is very useful. It is a amazing technique but it is so hard to draw this. I have a question: what the best paper to draw with this technique?

well this is quite impressive. Skin and hair are always impressive to me, but unblended skin is quite the thing on itself. Is it really just drawing circle after circle? They should be quite small circles, right?
I'm sorry I'm spamming you around, but I do miss drawing with pencils, but every time I just think or returning to them, I get horrible results, so I keep trying to see aways I can mix and adapt into pen drawing.

It is just lots and lots of little circles, the only trick is to get the pressure of the pencils right, but once you've been doing it for a while, you just know what feels right or not
Don't worry, I'm happy to answer if I can. I know exactly how you feel, before I joined dA I hadn't lifted a pencil in 10 years and was never able to draw people. It comes eventually, especially if you love it like you obviously do.
If your able to draw in biro like you do, graphite will be a breeze!
