Yes or no?
Good job.
How do you do such small detail and what medium do you use for it?
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you consider your greatest source of inspiration?
Ps
I kind of like the smears on your black and white sketches, the sort of add a bit more effect to any art work.
Later days!!!
I'm starting to think that it comes down to paper. I'm noticing a difference in smears between my drawing and sketch papers. I think the smoother the paper the more likely it is to smear.
I also think it comes with the pencil as well - the softer pencils tend to smear like a mother*$%&, so I started doing my initial sketches in mechanical pencils and am much happier with the result.
I also try to work from the top left hand corner down (because I'm a rightey), and that tends to help too. I also use a blank index card, which is more free than being taped down. But then again it is sliding around the paper, so that could be a cause of smears, too...
Curious, what do you use to remove your eraser dust? I'm trying to use a soft brush, but even that smears a bit. I'm thinking of trying compressed air.
Anyway, good to know that the good artists have this problem as well.
