Description
I'm a little, well, a big bit nervous about posting thisSome 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
Paula
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 -

It's a great technique! I would try it out but I'm improving with mine for the moment.
Thanks for sharing; it's great to see how others approach drawing!

This is an impossible feat for me. Thank you for taking your time to do this tutorial! I have many (tutorials) in my list that I need to take advantage of and improve on my drawing skills.

No it's not, its easy! Its also more fun than blending, but it does take a lot longer to do
Your welcome, I just hope it's helpful

My appyollogies for asking such a dumbo question, but where you mention about the angle of the lead in the lead holder are you saying you use it on the angle as opposed to the point?

No apologies, I think I might have been better putting a slightly bigger piccie on there
Yeah, I almost round the end off to an angle so there are no sharp or jagged edges, normally I get the angle by using a little sanding block or just scribbling on paper. Its just a personal thing, but i hate scratches and indents on my paper

Thanks for the clarification, and your picture is fine, it's just having read so many things telling you to keep a sharp point on yer pencils I've obviously been brain washed. I'll wait until I've got Kelly in bed ummmm, put Kelly to bed then I will try your method out.
I also (not having seen them before) just ordered one of your TomBow Mono Erasers so thank you for that info.

Well, I do agree for the most part to have a sharp point, but not always ... I like to be a rebel LOL.
Does Kelly know about this? hehe
I hope you like it! Honestly, it's one of my most favourite things ever ... so sad
