Attempt at Realistic Finger...

I tried a little bit of hyper-realism with this sketch. Its my own finger and I have tried to make it look like a photo. Did only two fingers Didn't have much space for more...
The finger in the first photo looks best because I hadn't shaded with the charcoal yet and when I did the contrast with the charcoal made the finger look really dull...

This is the actual drawing.. I just brought the sketch within margin and now it looks dull...

Well, you can always think of it as an old photo, but then it kills the whole notion of hyper-realism.

I guess next time I'll just have to try harder.

In this one, I used 2H, HB, 2B, 3B and charcoal..

I'm building my pencil stack over time,because I now have realized the value of using suitable pencils.
