I'm making a video of my paper preparation process and will post it (or a link to it if I can't actually post it) in the forum when I finish. I have some computer problems at the moment and can't edit videos. I've posted my process in written form in the Forum.

At the bottom of this posting are three more drawings that I did after I finished the course. @michelbajona , you asked me to let you know when I applied this technique to other drawings.

1. The first is of the same photo of my daughter, Hannah, that I used for my initial project. I made the drawing smaller this time so I could fit everything in. I'm using this as my project photo now.
2. The second is of my older daughter Emily.
3. The third is of my son-in-law, i.e. Emily's husband. I've used a bit of blue, red, and yellow ochre Art Graf on this one, so not entirely Renaissance. I had a bit of trouble with this one because I experimented too much. But if I don't experiment, I don't learn.

4. This is the start of my drawing. It has a big problem. The far-side (i.e. the left side of her face) is far too wide. I didn't notice it until I took a photograph. So I fixed it before I moved on with my drawing. I knew I'd be unhappy with the finished result unless I fixed it.

5. This is my finished drawing. It's still on the drawing board. Now I have to cut around the edges to release it.

The drawing size is 26.5 x 36 cm. I used a HB pencil, a black charcoal pencil and a sanguine charcoal pencil. I also used a white chalk pencil, but it wasn't gripping to the paper, so I used ArtGraf white Carbon which I wet and applied with a fine brush to add the thin white hairs around her face and in her hair.

Second attempt. I repeated the project using same photo reference and paper size, but drew a smaller image.
