.: When September Ends :.

This is a pencil portrait using the following reference: http://claireprob.deviantart.com/art/Milly-in-B-W-58041522

I used graphite pencils 8B – 2H, cotton swabs & balls and tortillions for blending. It’s on Bristol board with a vellum finish.

    Beautiful sketch! You have made this very unique and I like that! Pardon my ignorance, but what do you use the cotton swabs and balls and what are tortillions? Love the eyes in this and the texture is great!
