I've got the shading well under way. It just seems to look coarser in the scan. I tinker with the settings, but I can't quite match the original drawing.

From the line drawing posted yesterday, I made a few adjustments, then carefully lightened the whole thing with a kneaded eraser. Since I wasn't certain how well I'd be able to shade it, I sprayed fixative. That way, if I had to erase the shading, I wouldn't lose the drawing. It has proven to be an unnecessary step... so far.

Still a lot to do. I wouldn't want to spend this kind of time on all my drawings, but I'm getting good practice. To me, a sustained drawing has always meant a couple of hours.
