Here’s a quick look at how I draw George. Believe it or not, I did this in one take.\u00a0 So, I may have fumbled a word or two.<\/p>\n

Just a little bit more background regarding this video. I mentioned the Sky Blue 740 1\/2<\/strong> pencil. Specifically, it’s a Berol Verithin Sky Blue 740 1\/2<\/strong>. I don’t think it’s made under this label anymore.\u00a0 At least, I can’t find them. I’m down to my last two.\u00a0 So, I need to get some pretty soon. But, I’m thinking if you get a number 740 1\/2<\/strong>, it’ll be the same pencil.<\/p>\n

I do use a regular non-photo blue pencil. But, depending on the paper I use and the angle of my drawing table light, the lines don’t always appear as crisp as I’d like. The 740 1\/2<\/strong> is just\u00a0 a little bit of a darker blue while still having a non-photo blue quality.<\/p>\n

Why the non-photo blue pencils?\u00a0 Well, it saves time.\u00a0 I don’t like to spend extra time erasing pencil lines after I’m done inking.\u00a0 Since the art is being scanned and I work on THAT as my final image ( I sometimes tweak things digitally using Gimp<\/a>), I simply set the scanner to read black and white line art.\u00a0 The blue lines drop out.\u00a0 Plus, people think it’s pretty neat getting an original with all the sketchy blue lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
