Pencil...

I've found the perfect brush in photoshop to emulate pencil texture. FINALLY. I sketched over my inital character sketch of Emily with it and then really quickly roughed in some background to see what it would look like. In the finals I suppose I would be a lot more delicate but it's good to know that I can use this now. I also tried applying some colour to the image, again, very roughly. The pencil work does a lot of the shading for you so it's really not very difficult to work this way. I'm certainly getting some mileage out of this image!
