I should have gone to bed hours ago, but you know me, once I am stuck in fiddling with something… yeah, I got so lost in putting the finishing touches to this that I actually went right ahead and finished it. ;) So here you have step 10 (going back to Ziva’s lovely eyes and heavily adjusting the pupil size and the general shape so they actually look like her eyes) and step 11 - the rest of her hair. I’ve obviously taken a few liberties with those glorious curls, but I hope you’ll forgive me. ;)
Materials used: sketchpad 9x12 inches/24x34 cm (110g/sqm), 3 different pencils (0.35 mm mechanical pencil filled with B leads for the outline, fine detail and texture of her hair, 2B for general shadowing/rendering, 8B for the really dark shadows), 1 pure graphite pencil (9B, for the almost-blacks), 3 different erasers (regular soft one, kneadable eraser for subtle value adjustment, pencil eraser for fine details), 1 really thin paper stump blender.
Time spent on the drawing: Somewhere between 30 and 35 hours, therefore please don’t repost or claim as your own or remove my tag. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.
