A bit of work on the helmet...kinda like how this worked out compared to the Mellotex work... both papers are good, still evaluating...

What do I always say? The eyes are the most important part of a portrait and eye and beak for a bird. :)
How I start on the eye…

I'm gonna try (at least for now) doing The Aviator again on both Mellotex and Olin papers. Hope I'm not boring or making people crazy with these postings. If so I'll back off a bit. I'm thinking the best way to compare the two is to work them simultaneously, that way I can judge how the graphite is falling on the paper and how easy or difficult the details and features are to accomplish.

another hour or so working on the shirt…
I was hoping to finish this over the past weekend, but damn....relearning so much after years of not working with the pencils. :(
After playing a bit with the 'new' Olin paper...I'm thinking of doing this same drawing on all three.
I'd already planned to do it on both Conquer and Mellowtex paper when I started it years ago to do a comparison (but already had a distaste for the Conqueror paper, but one that is nearly finished now).
Went ahead and erased my test marks on this olin page (the one on the left. Mellotex in the middle) and sketched/traced in the initial drawing on the Olin. We'll see if I end up doing all three or not...may work on them simultaneously or more likely finish the Conquer version first...
