So lately, I've been experimenting on a few new techniques which have contributed to a slight drop in pace of creation

Instead of hatching/ cross hatching as usual.. I started scribbling.

Normally, I thought that that's the go-to technique for the hair texture but I figured that when it's properly done and we'll blended.. it creates a smooth tone for the skin too

Yh, and I do most of my blending with the blending stump, which is after I'd used the brush to smoothen the pencil shades abit.

About my highlights?!
Well, I use the regular eraser for that. I just cut a lil part of it which I can use like a pencil to touch on where needs to be highlighted

Once again, thanks for scrolling this far. I hope I was able to help someone with the little tips I could share. I'd be glad to share more incase you've got questions and I'm also open to your ideas too
