Well I carried on working with the col-erase pencil but it was increasingly difficult to get the darks that the image needed and the rendering started to get that over-worked look so I needed to add some more line. Then I added some darks with the prisma color black pencil. This pencil does not produce as even a line as the col-erase though it is much darker so I needed to work with both pencils for a while and also with the electric eraser.
In the end I am now happy with the darks but will probably look at working with the darker graphite pencils on paper with more tooth next time, and probably stick to graphite instead of the prisma colors for a while. The prisma color pencils do have a really good feel when being used but I find they can be difficult to finish a drawing with.
I should also say that the reference for this image came from
Kevin.
