I hate scanners. I was so proud to have shaded this without smudging (intentionally with a Q-tip). Shading with just a pencil and no smudging, using a bunch of teeny tiny circles produces this really cool, rough yet smooth finish. Unfortunately, my scanner cannot be fooled by gestalt, thus it picked up EVERY circle and amped up the contrast. bleh, I ended up smudging the whole thing just so my scanner could be nice.
Aw well, I'm just glad I finally drew something that had nothing to do with my art classes XD
3 down, even more to go.
