I know this is kinda a old video but you did a great job couldn't help to notice ... why's up with the final fantasy music

All new to this but what kind of pencil lead do you use for the facial skin color like the forehead. Thanks

[MoonlightMystical]

@priscillamorris1 I'm presuming you mean the tone? There is no colour on this drawing as it's in greyscale :)

H , B , 3H and 2B Graphite Mechanical pencils are the pencils i used to create this drawing.

ran out of characters...let me re-post!

What pencil and brand did you use for the lashes? My General pencils don't come off that black and rich looking.

@priscillamorris1 Each tone has been created by a tightly controlled linear technique on the face and forehead , however this alternates with a circular motion technique. The pencil is applied extremely lightly (as light as it's on weight is pushing onto the paper to create the lightest light of all marks) layers. Hope that this helps!

@priscillamorris1 if it's values you are talking about , then yes , on a scale of one to ten , this would be about a two or three on the lighter end of the scale :)

@torodeoro18 Oooh thank you but keep practicing and you'll be better than me one day. Never give up! We all have to start somewhere!

I like this drawing.

How did you make the white lines that come out of the white circles?

If I try with Blu Tac they come out too soft and not straight.

And what size is this?

Thanks

@remotful Hi there , I don't know the details to my other account , so am using this one!

For the white cirlces with the lines , I cut up a staedtler eraser and used the sharpest point to gently flick out lines.Either that or it was a pencil eraser that had been cut at a very sharp angle.

Hope this helps. You can find me on deviant art if you'd like anymore help :)
