House art wip3 and 4

Sorry to spam the airwaves with a million WIPs! (at least I'm only posting them to my own journal and not, like, to 20 comms as well!

this will be the last one tonight, 'cause I've put down me pencil and I'm orf to bed!

does anyone know how to draw 'texture'.? specifically his scrubby beard? Leezard??? glock???? Hill????? Mieronna????? anyyyyyone?? I must admit that I'm askaird to even begin. I've done a bit of 'stache', but the rest is quite intimidating. I"m afraid to make it seem...scribbly.

House Art WIP5 and 6

I still haven't attacked his beard, but I've filled in his hand and his cute little head wrinkles. It sort of made me miss my Basset Hound. ;)

House Art WIP 7 (only one more to go!)

Okay, we're getting to the end here! Can you tell I am SOOO avoiding doing his hair? urhgg..
I did the beard/scrub. I'll have to see how I like it in the morning.
I have to fix/finish his left (my right) shoulder, and perhaps make his chin a tad rounder, plus darken the shadows on/around his eyes. I'll also go over all the dark areas with a 6b pencil. so far, aside from the original light sketch, that I did with ....an H? I dunno, whatever's light and lying around, the rest is done with a woodless 4b. I find, when the numbers get too high, like 9b, they get too waxy.

But first ... the hair. *shudders* I hate mid-tone semi-curly hair! whaaaaah!

Oh, and that blue line on his hand? That's where my original line art had his chin! bwahaha that would have been a disaster.
