Hey Pete, I used 2B/3B pencil on cheap sketching paper. Using better paper might give me cleaner results, but I haven't expermented with it much. I used to smudge and crosshatch on the same drawing, but I'm trying to stop because it breaks the "atmosphere" for me (plus this recently discovered website advises against it). Now I use contoured hatching and a little "colouring in" (with some prestik for making revisions). But I found that a good medium for practising shading is pen. It keeps me from relying on the eraser too much, and forces me to use hard lines with more care. I love coloured soft pastels and charcoal for the freedom and satisfaction they provide, but I haven't used them much.

cd-demo cover Hi. This is something I made for local heavy band. Here is the final picture... http://www.medley.fi./ I have tryin to attach the raw version of it in this post but for some reason it dont upload, filesize is 104kt jpeg ??? (upload of file failed) No explanation beside that. What am I doing wrong ?
The filesize might be too big. You can post the version on that website by typing the following without spaces: [ IMG ]http://koti.mbnet.fi/medley/pics/medley_-_dead_man_walking.jpg[ /IMG ] I like it, by the way, it's nice - especially that demonic prisoner. Very good.

God I hate hapsburg's stupid fat soulless characters. They oddly confirm beyond a shadow of doubt that hapsburg is a dumb arse and a fuckhead. The old saying "a picture says a thousand words" is particularly accurate if you add "about the person who created it".
