FINISHED!!!

Ok I lie... I'm not exactly finished... However, the tone is where I want it, and the shapes that have been created by the tone are quite refined. The overall mood of the work has come across awesomely! There the figure is, fading into a dark background with a look of remorse on his face- something's not right, the context of him behind the door should give a sense that he is disconnected to what lays outside the door (he's hiding). The audience looks in on the figure, but his eyes divert from the audience, allowing for a sense of empathy/sympathy.

Getting rid of the nasty white dots!!!

Ok, so basically although the texture of the paper is clearly visible, some of the white dots it leaves are too prominent and now I'm going over them. Also No more white background, and i've been beginning to tone up the shirt..



The picture as whole looks alright.. I need to make it fade into the background more and refine the shirt.

Smudge Paper :)

Below is my very good friend who I've been using to experiment with tones and briefly with other medias such as water paint, charcoal powder and water itself (which miss helped me with).
I've also made good use of him when I needed clean fingers for a different tone xD
