So cool!
Thanks, it was the first time I did 'layers' in a drawing. It makes a difference x
What is layers if you don't mind me asking.
Well, when in start drawing a picture and I'm doing shading,I start with a 4H on the lightest areas and gently build up as far as I can go with that pencil without wrecking the tooth of the paper. If I need to go darker, I then go on top of that with a HB, and so on until I get the shade or darkness I need. So eventually you have layers of grades of pencil. Works best on rich skin tones or if the skin is going to be the main focus of the picture x
Oooh I will try this thank you!
You're welcome. If I can help, let me know. Please also check out '5 Pencil Method' on YouTube, it's a great channel to learn techniques etc.
Thanks.
