Is there a specific name for the rubber chisel? I have been having a hard time finding one.

[DrPencil777]

@sstacie619 They are called color shapers. I sent you a link ;)

What is the largest artwork you've done, in terms of measure/size?

[DrPencil777]

@aROBOTgirl02 I stay with 6 inch faces - hairline to chin, or 3 inches from eyes to chin. It's the best compromise for me in terms of least amount of time vs greatest amount of details. I use a ruler to measure key distances between features, but it's all free hand

[plasticface23]

@DrPencil777 Do you draw any construction lines or outline of the head before you start adding any detail, or do you just start to draw the image from the beginning hoping for the best results? I hope that makes sense... Thanks!
