YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!
finished at last XD
well i thought id finished it last night, but then i darkened the trousers, and put a few more highlights in the guitar! i thought about uploading the photo i took before that, but there's not much point as its only a slight difference
anyways, it was obviously done with pencil, an HB and a 4B for the darker bits. But to get the highlights i just rubbed out bits, mostly at the end as whilst working i tended to smudge a lot (which actually helped when i did the guiatr ) The tiny highlights are v difficult to get, but always worth putting in So to get them, i cut my rubber up into pieces with a sharp knife, thus i could get very straight thin edges, for very subtle highlights! It was also useful to cut a bit of rubber into a point for the very very small highlights, and for precision *perfectionist* lmao XD
It took around 30 hours, lol! I started it on the 30th of October XD but when i'd finished doing Matt (i have just realised how wrong that sounds XD), i did not feel like doing the guitar one lil bit lol! The shirt was hard enough!!
But yeah, so its finished at long last

Here's the stages it went through:
Stage One ~ [link]
Stage Two ~ [link]
Stage Three ~ [link]
Stage Four ~ [link]

The best to compare with the final would be stage three, as it was also taken with a digi-cam

Here's some added close up's of the final, for those who wanna see how i did it!
