A pretty woman, step-by-step

Beautiful Ezio

Thanks, Dennis, for your kind appreciation.

I would have thought such a detailed drawing would be on hot-pressed paper Ezio. You are very talented. What did you use the chamois leather for, please?

Thanks, Adele, for your kind appreciation. Chamois leather (natural or synthetic, doesn't matter), wrapped around your index finger (for a large surface) or a tortillon/stump (for a small surface) is used as a blending tool. Movement is from dark to light. As you can see from my drawings, I can't use this technique well. In the future, perhaps ...

Intriguing to see the process and your interpretation. Excellent tonal work and result.

Thanks for the explanation Ezio.
