Folks would like to know what materials I use, so here ya go:
Paper:
Strathmore 80lb 400
series. I usually pick the smoother side of the paper with less tooth. I do
like to use Bristol Board for portraits but I haven't for these.
Pencils:
KOH-I-NOOR Progresso
Woodless Aquarell. 2B & 8B grade
Bold Strokes Books authors
JD Glass
[From Red Light cover]
I'm having SO much fun with this drawing, and I'm wickedly happy Rad was able to
provide such a good photo for reference. I try to personalize each drawing
when I do them off a photo, so that is why you'll notice some differences in the
hair.

Quick sketch of JD from a personal photo she supplied. This took me all of ten
minutes. I may revisit it later, but the black on black is terrible for my eyes.

This is a beautiful woman that I knew I just HAD to draw. I love her expression
here. I have hopes of drawing her smiling one day, cause that's something no one
should miss!

Rad...Rad, Rad, Rad.
She's given me the most challenge to date, but I'm determined to get her
on paper to the best of my ability. I like the drawing below this one, but in
this drawing she's smiling, and that is how many people imagine her.

What can I say here to do the woman justice? Nothing, so I'll just continue
drawing her and hope she's as impressed with it as I am with her.
