No, I don't, no stump nor finger..only pencils . I use "Lyra" pencils 4h, 2H, HB, F, B and 2B ; Each drawing of this series takes me 3 weeks to one month, full time job...
Not exactly...I work from a photograph of my "sculpture" ;
I start my drawing from the left top ( I am right handed ) using a grid on the photo and my page , this grid is erased as my drawing comes up...
Wow. I tend to use a kneaded erasure to pull out highlights. I work all over at once tho and end up dragging my hand across the picture which makes me have to go back and refine details again and again. Hmmm...

So do you build up layers and slowly pull in the shadows?
