I saw that you said you use your sketchbook paper for your drawing...is it just drawn with graphite?  I am wondering how you painted over it without it smudging?

I love your girl's face...she is lovely. = )

@LaPieta227 Hi :o) Thanks your your nice words. Yes she 's drawn on sketchbook paper with graphite. If you use a fairly "dry" graphite like "H", it won't smudge, and if it does it's no big deal beacause you paint over it.

Or you can spray your drawing with a sealer if you want, but even matte sealer make it slick and I don't like that. :o)

@sabrinakaye89 Hi, I just use my sketchbook  :)

You are very very talented. I wonder what kind of wood is it that you used for this demo? I love the way you do your shading techniques. Any reason why watercolor and not acrylic? great work!!!

@Patrizia817 Hi Patrizia, thank you for your nice comment.

I painted this piece on masonite.( 8 x 8 inches)

I usually paint in acrylics, but sometimes I like to mix acrylics, oils and watercolor. Plus watercolor is very forgiving when it comes to shading a face, compared to acrylics.

But my favorite medium remains acrylics.

Glad you liked it ! :o
