Art Commission - Albert and Babs

Here is a pencil sketch I've just completed of a couple (Albert and Babs). The sketch was done on A4 cartridge paper. I used a Derwent Graphic Designer pencil set (from WH Smith - currently my favourite pencils) which had the pencil range I needed (4H - 3H -2H - H - F - 2B to 6B) I found that for this sketch I used mainly 4H, 2H, F, HB, 2B and 4B. I then scanned the finished sketch into Photoshop and played around with the tone levels and printed the final image on A4 size 300 gsm cotton canvas. I feel thaafter scanning the original sketch and printing it out onto A4 canvas really enhances the pencil work, in fact it looks better than the original sketch. Completion time was about six hours.
