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.
