Elsie the Cow part2

Ok I am back. This is the second layering on "Elsie". I think she is progressing. This girl has a lot of shading. So far I am only using a #2 pencil.

Always keep your pencil sharpened.

On this layering I worked primarily on the bridge and nose. I work all around as to see some contrast in the shading. I want her nose to "pop" out at you. Also added the reflective areas on the eyes and enhanced her gorgeous eyelashes a bit.
Now this gal has some cornrolls don't you think?

I think this will be all for today. I will try to come back tomorrow. Sometimes when I put it away for awhile I can come back with a fresh set of eyes.

I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have. I look forward to your comments. See you tomorrow.
