Version 2.0

A week later, I have taken more time in making the outlines, doing the hair and now the results are there to see.

Previous drawing

Looking at it up close, you will notice the changes made to the way the hair is drawn. Although better than the first attempt, I feel the hair can be drawn better, as I started to realize how to shape it in the course of the drawing. In my next attempt I will be laying more focus on this. Also the eyes need a little more emphasis.

The other tools I have used this time is a mechanical pencil with a HB lead and a Cretacolor Monolith eraser. Unfortunately the search for good 2B and 4B leads still continues.
