Well I've finished it and as promised here is the first showing. This is the first in a series of 'laces' drawings I'll be doing as I love the detail in the criss crossing. I used a photo that I took a few weeks ago for my Project 365, if you would like to see it's here on my photo blog. I'm going to keep these to a manageable size, 9inches by 7inches, very portable and easy to reproduce.
I chose a slightly different paper for this drawing, Strathmore smooth stock for pencil or pen and ink. My pencils are Castell 9000 graphite by A.W. Fabre 2B, 4B, 6B and a 6H for very fine detail. I have an electric eraser as it spins, a larger pen type and also a regular white and of course my ever trusty goats hair brush.
Let me know what you think...I love the feedback.
