and that's the rub.
Tone and not so much grain as darker & lighter streaks, here & there, variable. Some do it in color pencil & then a brush to blend but so far, have just used a brush.
Managed a Camel almost exactly as I wanted that series of panels to look. But an Albatros gives me hives... think it's the panels.
Am a picky bastard and perhaps that's a problem.
But practice is the thing, I guess.
