And this time completely with pencil.
I found out how to get the black as dark, and the stripes as thin as possible.
I used a B2 pencil, and kept it very sharp.
I sharpened it so often that my pencil is now half it's length.
But it's the only way to work with it as if it's a fineliner.
I hope you like it.
This is so nice, when I first saw it, I thought it was reels of cotton coming out of the centre and stitches on the outside holding everything together. Very clever.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenReally like the stitching around the outside. I agree about having to keep the pencil sharp. Still was a challenge. Nice job.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, beautiful! I would never know it was done in pencil. Your linework is super, and I also really like the outside stitches.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDeze is ook erg mooi Mariët! Ik baalde heel erg dat ik geen 1 goeie puntenslijper had. Baal nu weer, want ik kom net terug van het winkelcentrum en heb geen neiuwe gekocht.
