I'm sure you get asked often, but what type of pencil are you using? I'm never satisfied with my shading with the pencil I use, though I LOVE it for outlining work. I need to either invest in a french stump or find a better shading pencil...
Haha actually I use a run-of-the-mill mechanical pencil. Since I layer instead of blending, shading pencils tend to make everything look muddy once they lose their initial sharpness. For pencils I would recommend Berol Turquoise, though, if you are in the market.
What do you like to draw? Are you comfortable doing portraits? (Animal or human.) Do you have a website/blog/Facebook for your work?
I like to draw just about anything. My weakest points are non-living things, but I'm working on incorporating backgrounds into more of my pieces where relevant. I do mostly people/animal portraits because that's what people enjoy, but I have nothing against cityscapes and have done a few.
I'm just getting into more serious art, kind of, so no Facebook or website at the moment...but hopefully everything will be back up and running soon! The nice thing about my new job is that downtime is downtime, which leaves lots of room for arting and things
