Rose's reTurn

Right, uploading this (with improvements) - ear now has depth, hair is worked a little (although if I'd done too much more I would have spoilt the paper...so I didnt' do too much more. ), erm, lips! aha. The highlight is reworked, made more lines on her top lip in the contour of her lip to try and make it look more 3D (didn't really work, because I'd worked on them so much already) and just generally rectified some of the stupid noob mistakes I made initially.

(also, it's now in black 'n' white. and the old one is in my scraps if anyone's interested)

So, the only bit that REALLY pees me off now is the dirty bit below her left (our right) eye..but that's because I apparently had no perception of distance/size. Yeah. I sucked.

I believe the title is also that of a song, from a musical?

Billie Piper - of Doctor Who, Diary of a Call Girl and Ruby in the Smoke fame amongst other things, like A Passionate Woman.
Anyway I'm proud of this so far, scan shows its faults but that is the way I suppose.
It's quite small, about 15 cm squared or so.


Probably about 7.5 hours in total, so relatively medium timescale. xD
Daler/Rowney Bristol Board
Daler/Rowney Artist's graphite pencils, no idea which grades as I haven't worked on this in a while.
Tortillons, blending stumps, tissues, cotton buds.
Putty eraser, Mars Plastic eraser, pencil erasers
And that's all, folks! I believe.

Oh and I used a Faber Castell black polychromo for the border.


Sorry for the essay-ish comment. xD
