Not a sketch >:0
Thats awesome Casey. Was gonna post some of mine, but I feel a bit reluctant now after seeing yours :-)
casey you have some insane skills
i really dig this. the face is my favorite drawing subject. i really wanna try out toned paper so i can use some white charcoal for highlighted areas.....something ive never tried before. i think im gonna pick up some light grey or yellow toned paper tonight at hobby lobby
Thankyou. Done on recycled paper , takes some getting used to as its a bit "stiffer" than what i normally use . Called it a sketch as i was being a bit flippant with myself as my improvements are slower than i would like!! Heres a drawing done in February this year that ive set as a little benchmark for myself, with the hope of improving further, hope that makes sense. And yes Dave faces are fascinating subjects:)Attachment 13102
electric and kneeded erasers are awesome for highlights and hair. and i use a sponge paintbrush to make my entire picture nice and soft, brushing the entire thing before i pull my highlights out. they look like this

these are some of the tools they helped me break into some super soft realism . prismacolor ebony pencils are also amazing for ur dark blacks...can get about as black as charcoal without that silvery sheen that normal pencils give(to an extent) . and they dont make a smudgy mess like charcoal.
Dave you are a gentleman, thankyou very much mate:)
