Adding Water
Put water on the Graphitints. I like the look. Its a little washed out in places, but that is easy to fix by going over the area with more pencil. Almost had a big mess up by the bottom of the lips, the water spread too far. But managed to fix it thankfully after a bit of panicking :p
Oh how gorgeous! So precise and lovely!
ReplyDeletethanks Lisa :)
DeleteI've just re-read previous post when you said this was tinted graphite so I guess the colours are maybe not so vibrant/strong as wc pencils .... which probably works better on a subject like this - Its looking really good so far Jennifer. I'd like to say I'll put graphitints on the 'to do' list but I've got so many new pencils and papers to try out I need to focus LOL!!
ReplyDeletethey are worth a try :) yeah the colours aren't as vibrant but work well for animal subjects. I know, not enough time for all the stuff I have as well :)
DeleteJust begining to read blogs again after a very busy month. Hope your eye is better and the floods are not affecting you. Gorgeous sketch. Take care
ReplyDeletehi Shashi :) no floods here thankfully, just lots of water in the fields. I was told the eye pain is actually pain from the scar, so just use lotion on it. hope you are ok :)
DeleteIt's coming beautifully!
ReplyDeletethanks Michelle :) Finished, just trying to flatten it now.
