» Pencil, paper, eraser, blending stump.

» To get accurate proportions, I started out with basic guidelines for the head shape and location of the eyes, nose and mouth. Once I had everything in the correct place, I erased the guidelines. I then created shading by varying the pressure on the pencil and changing the way I held my pencil. This allowed me to create a variety of values. I used the blending stump to give a more realistic even sense to the shading by smoothing out the pencil lines.
