Beautiful as always. Again, I admire your patience and perseverance with your work. How do you protect your drawings between drawing sessions? Do you cover them up or put them away to protect from dust, spills or pets (if any) getting on it? (I'm speaking from personal experience. Cats love to walk across drawings!)

[onlypencil]

thank you. Well i have this plastic cover that i put over the drawing. on the corners of my drafting table i have four small blocks that are higher than the drawing. i place the bag of those blocks and it hovers over the drawing. As for pets and spills, i dont have any. The only thing i have to worry about is my nephew who visits daily. For that, i just put a safety fence so he can't go in where i draw, unless im there with him.

the ammount of detail in this is just unbelievable! which stylus are you using the most for this piece the needle or the pen?

[onlypencil]

thanks Dom, for this one im using the empty pen and on the tips i use the needle. The empty pen gives me instant clumps of hairs and if i want thicker clumps i just use the kneaded eraser.

Hi, please can you explain me how do you make the guidelines for your drawings? because i really like your hair technique and everything and i am practicing a lot, but i just cant get my drawings proportional.. so i mean i've tried just drawing and erasing until im sort of satisfied but it's usually a big mess.. or sometimes i use a grid but it's a lot of work and i've seen some of your speed drawing videos and usually you dont use grid.. so, to resume my question, what advice can you give me?
