been working at gamestop and I now realise I hate work but I can handle this for the rest of my life....gah...

anyway, it was my bosses birthday last weekend I drew her a pic (look in gallery) Notice it looks neat and clean. No smudge, no erase! I figured out the trick!

1) Draw a ruff copy to get the pose and size

2) Draw another ruff copy using the first as a base, draw everything but the FINE detail, like the stuff you need a thin pencil for or you know you can do without trying *shadow lines, nails, etc..*

3) take a glass table or anything solid that can be seen through (glass works the best) and shine a light under it.

4) begin to trace over your own work (Your tracing over your own work so it still counts as yours) remember not to trace the erased marks.

5) add the detail

6) you now have your own work without any smudges from eraser (depending how good you are at coping....)

Its still your original drawing just redone, I can still call it coping but its like fixing it on the pc, your still going over it so just call it the finished copy, plus your coping over your own style so it should come naturally as u do it and the light helps you see all the lines you made so you can see the ones you want to keep and the ones you dont.

BTW I feel passionate because I love my boyfriend! and he got a fortune cookie that said you or a close friend will get married soon and his friends dont even have dates so YAY!
