Detail of Stevie Nicks portrait  

Portrait of Stevie Nicks 1990       by Paul Noonan

Detail

Graphite pencil on paper

From this more detailed picture you can see the pencil work.Today I use different techniques with a pencil to achieve the effects I want. Back in 1990 I used harder pencils more and didn't employ cross-hatching. Today I have to say even though I've learned more and hopefully got better I'm not sure how I got the skin to shimmer in this picture.
