Pencil Portrait/Linda

Pencil & graphite portrait done from photo I posted earlier, taken in the 1940's. Each time I got one part of the face the way I liked it, I saw that another part needed fixing. Unfortunately, when I went to fix one area, I scratched it and couldn't remove the dark spot so I had to use Photoshop. Anyway, this is just for my sketchbook and I learned a good lesson from it, don't overwork and drive yourself crazy!

Lou I really like the pencil portrait of Linda. Thanks for sharing. How long did this take you and what type of paper did u use?

This was just a drawing for myself as practice. It took more than 6 hours, done in bits and pieces of time. It is in my sketchbook, Strathmore Windpower Drawing, acid free, 80 lb. If you want to be more professional, I would suggest trying Bristol Vellum. That works well with pencil and pens. Thanks for the nice comment.
