Cara-Jane - progress 7

This is where it starts getting exciting. All of the outlining seems worth it now.

From the start I'm using a combination of HB and 2B to shade, getting the correct amount of dark in the hair.

I'm shading from left to right, so as not to smudge any of the graphite as I go. I do, however, always have a small piece of paper that my hand rests on when outlining or shading, to keep the paper clean. I never touch the paper with my fingers or my hand, as the natural oils in the skin can make it difficult to rub off graphite the paper.
