Work in progress
Still working on this guy. Wasn't able to spend too much time on him today. It took me a while to figure out how to do his jacket. I've done leather jackets before, but this one is a bit different. I am doing it layer by layer and "scribbling" fine lines in it with a very sharp 2HB pencil. I then blend it with a q-tip and do more layers - blending, erasing, etc. This seems to be fairly slow-going for me. I usually finish a pic like this in a day, but its working out okay, so I'll keep at it.
Might be hard to see the scribbles - but those scratches will hopefully look like creases in the leather, once they are darkened, lightened, blended in, etc.
