Description This is the first time I actually did a background for a sketch. Working with digital art all this while made me not so leery of doing a background while working in a traditional medium. That said, doing hair in this medium is not easy. At all. I had to depend on the kneaded eraser quite a bit just to make sure I have highlights. Other than that, it was fun. I had forgotten how much I loved sketching.

Done with F, 3H, 4B, 9B graphite pencils, hard and soft charcoal pencils and kneaded eraser. And my scanner is out so I had to take a photo of this.

P.S. My hubby likes this so much, he's requested I sketch the full ensemble + Loki so we can hang the set in the living room. I haven't decided yet. Depends on response and time, I guess.

P.P.S. Whoa! Earthquake while I was submitting this. I don't live in Iran, but close enough that I felt the tremors. Hope no one was hurt.

It's been many, many moons since I logged onto DA, so this is new to me - and it's stunning. Obviously your traditional skills have not deserted you.

Thank you. I guess patience comes when you're interested in what you're doing.

Patience occurs the more you practice. Like some stuff I see on dA, I think that I'll never have that much patience to work on all that detail. But then I think back to when I first started out and I realize I have gotten more patient. So just keep drawing, practicing and experimenting, I guess.

Thank you. The hair was horrible to do. I wish there was a way to "paint in" the highlights with pencils instead of erasing pigments.
