Subject: Brad Pitt (as himself)
Paper: Strathmore - Acid Free - Premium Medium Tooth Surface - 70lbs weight
Medium: Staedtler Graphite Pencils (5B through 2H)
Size: 8 x 7
Completed: 4/7/09
Hours to complete: 7+
(I used a finishing nail duck tapped to an old pencil to get the negative effect in his hair, then filled in with 2B, B & F...then swiped it with a kneaded eraser. I read about how to do that in an EXCELLENT Book I HIGHLY recommend called "Drawing from LINE to LIFE" by Mike Sibley. www.sibleyfineart.com WORTH every penny! He's an artist from England?
