Your work is beautiful. I have never used drafting film but I do use heavy weight Archival tracing paper and find prismas do blend well on it - although to an point. I can't find drafting film in artshops around the UK :( but i'd love to try it. Snoop looks like he will be really excellent. The eye is really something xCorinnehttp://violet-lake.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-85368167258810382572009-07-01T15:53:18.360+01:002009-07-01T15:53:18.360+01:00Wow, thanks so much to you all who have taken the ...Wow, thanks so much to you all who have taken the time to leave me a comment about the lovely Snoop. In answer to a few questions and queries in amongst the comments:<br />Sheila, I am indeed left handed, it's a practice I started when doing graphite portraits so as to prevent smudging.<br />Kat, I love doing eyes now, I used to find them a bit difficult as if they were slightly off I would throw away a piece and start again, luckily I've learnt to start with the eye and take time with it.<br />Deb, I've seen Karen Hull's work too and she is simply amazing at drafting film, I just have to remember I'm still a learner and she has a lot more experience than I do, her work is beautiful. Yes, when you do try it out 'NO BLENDING!', it sorts itself out then!<br />Grahame, I can't believe you are leaving the CPs in a drawer, I thought your work was just outstanding in this medium, I know you are quite an expert with graphite though. I'm off to visit all of your blogs soon, I've much to learn from everyone else but thanks again for leaving me a comment, it really is appreciated.artbykarieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316253118493344384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-75483154193068647022009-07-01T13:01:58.583+01:002009-07-01T13:01:58.583+01:00As usual, Karie-Ann you're off to a fabulous s...As usual, Karie-Ann you're off to a fabulous start!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-31912562150305958792009-07-01T09:17:28.316+01:002009-07-01T09:17:28.316+01:00Love the overlapping small pencil stroke technique...Love the overlapping small pencil stroke technique.

I have been thinking and planning, but haven't used it yet. I'm so glad you mentioned that blending doesn't work well on it. I will have to try to avoid that. And I love my woodless pencils. I guess I'll try to stick to using the firmer leads.Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852128184670515432.post-64337867454038185962009-07-01T03:19:29.371+01:002009-07-01T03:19:29.371+01:00Wow! your work is outstanding, stunning and breath...Wow! your work is outstanding, stunning and breathtaking!! other than that I am at a loss for words lol.
