I'm noticing an issue - the paper! Unfortunately the surface (back side) has the texture! It's appearing as a tiny vertical lines, which when absorbing the graphite partickes - stays forever. I could compare it to indenting - once the graphite goes in - no way to fully erase. So I'm doing my best to mask it instead as best as I can...

For those who are appreciate updates 🤘🤠 The progress isn't overwhelming though (😉) as I'm improving details around the face. Thanks for watching!

I've only just seen this topic Art but I'm so glad I found it. Your portrait is looking amazing already and I'm looking forward to watching your progress.

I'm appreciate keen support John! I decided to come back to graphite you see... Pyrography & such subtle shading won't be possible...

Today I didn’t do much, because I decided to invest into drawing desk (lol), something to sit at, and enjoy drawing... Till now I was holding the drawing on my knees, and bending the neck down, what was causing the neck sore in short time... It was OK when I wasn't drawing as much, but it seems my motivation showing up, and I'm spending great time on drawing every day... It took me some time to assemble the desk, and to find the room for it 😉 (Greetings to my dear wife - for her patience 😁) If you watch this video, you'll see a new desk, and my place 😊 ●TAP to watch the video... So for today - just few leaves at the bottom corner... Thank you!

For those who like to follow even tiny bits update - I'm carry on improving the bottom of the drawing. I'm improving foliage, and I've made those stripes of the jumper on mum's RHS shoulder. I must say - the foliage on the reference is more detailed, as you can imagine bunch of garden flowering plants - but it's the portrait, not botanical illustration (😅) - so I'm making it up rather than closely copying leaf by leaf, and making it out of focus at same time...

First time I’ve seen this one Art - the resemblance is perfect, beautifully drawn! I quite like the texture of the paper coming through. Definitely looking forward to progress on this one 👍

Coming along beautifully Art. May I ask, do you use blending stumps or are you relying on skilful control of your pencil?
