here is the third one of six im working on ,once i get all six done im going to scrap everything i have on my website and just add these for my front page,i want to re-do my whole site in about 2 or 3 weeks,and pay someone to promote it,..and also dress up everyones links to banners if they have them,..and hopefully bring everyone as well as myself some traffic,...right now all i do is post my site at web malls and free 4 all links and stuff.
but anyhow here is where i am on this one...the hair is totally ebony jet black by (sanford) <--pencil maker.
im tempted to order some carbon pencils from off line because michaels around here and everyone else doesnt seem to carry them,,,..i asked them why they dont have carbon pencils and she said "because nobody has ever heard of them...< does that make sense?....i guess they never will either.

hey thanks a lot you guys .. yup its audrey murphy,...i got sloppy on her ear ring and some other stuff threw me off also on her nose and ear,....but i really hope you guys check out a ebony jet black extra smooth by sanford...they sell them in packs of two,.....its sort of like drawing with just the black colored pencil.,..its range is pretty wide,.i used it while shading the face too,..but it still looked a little grainy in the end so i went over it some with a 2H, really lightly ,its a thick lead so its hard to keep sharp....i used sand paper to keep it as sharp as i could when i was shading the face,...you just have to barely drag it on the paper( this is canson classic cream"...i thought it was strathmore 400 at 1st..i cant really tell the difference between them......but anyhow thanks for stopping in to check her out...
