Description
Here is it, the final Jessica Alba!I'm trying a new paper. I've been drawing only on Srathmore Bristol Smooth, and today I felt like trying another one. So here it is...on Vellum. I absolutely love it...it's rougher and I feel like the graphite is really absorbed by the paper...wich is different than the Smooth one, were the graphite seems to stay only on the surface. You get more texture on Vellum...I LOVE IT!!!! It works better on hair for me!
- 9X12 Bristol Vellum
- Pencils 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 5B and 6B, mechanical pencil
- Kneaded eraser
- Stumps and Kleenex
- Approx 10 hours

Aww thank you! I still struggle with hair, but somehow, the result is great in this drawing. I guess it's because of the paper I used for this one.

This is beautiful
I use Bristol Board Extra Smooth ... maybe I should try this.
What do you think?

Thank you! I use Smooth Bristol Board a lot. I love both of them, but they are very different to work with. It depends what outcome you wish to have. With vellum, the result is a lot more "grainy" than smooth. I like it too. Somehow I find it easier on Vellum to get darker tones, the graphite really sinks into it. Blending works great on both of them. It depends on the subject too. This one was great for that texture, but my drawing of Neytiri is better on smooth bristol I think. Can't explain why..it's more a feeling than anything else.
