XD have you started to notice a pattern in my art? yep there almost all portraits. this one i just did for a practise but it ended up taking a long time and i like how it turned out. originally i just wanted to draw it for the perspective for practise. but alas it's now one of my favorite pieces. well except for the fact that i can't seem to get a smooth charcol blend. it's turned out a little blotchy and that's not just the scanner. anyway if anyone has any tips on how to create smooth blended charcol i'd love to hear.
