medium: pencil WITHOUT the aid of brush this time duration: 25 hours so far dimension: when finished - A4 this is about 95% done but i think its beautiful enough to upload it on the internet... after scanning i noticed the shade in the neck is insufficient, so as the shirt... i have to smoothen some strokes coz its still visible in close up... im really proud of this one... its quite scary to use a different type of paper from the usual coz i thought it'll be very hard for me to use the eraser... and yeah just as i thought its much harder to use a mechanical pencil as far as my technique in making shades for the hair is concern... yet im happy with this one... great expression... i actually feel sad when im looking at his eyes
