jabeoo1 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Superb picture would like to see it "in the flesh" as they say.Thanks Pete , I admit to being pleased with it. Attempts before have been trialled and tested and pushed to one side, but not without mental notes. With this attempt on A4 there was still plenty of learning curves, but I want to refine the techniques & processes until I feel confident enough to not mess up on A1. I am not at all happy with the filaments yet, they are just not how I see them at the eye piece. The rubbing out to reveal brightness is more difficult on the smaller scale of A4 because getting putty erasers & sharpening rubbers into a small point was difficult. On A1 it may be easier. The inking wets the card & causes curling, I may need to reconsider this too.I have some new ideas to trial with the best of what came from this sketch.
