Big step forward today, the base texture and tone has gone in over the left wing. Haven’t yet gone over it with finer or darker grades, this is purely an F grade graphite which has been slightly blended out to smooth the underlying texture: the final texture will go in over this as this layer provides a guide of sorts to influence further work on top. Next task is to block in the tail, which is a much finer texture and more uniform grey colour.
