Step 9. The Hair & Final Shading The hair shaddow lines follow a different process. As with the face observe the highlight areas and leave these clear. Black hair has to rely almost solely on reflective white areas. Final shading - Work over the whole face area and increase the the shadow where needed. As previously one works by continuously glancing at the color photo and comparing the photo shade grade with your drawing and adding more shading where needed. Work using the shading grades described in Step 7. Blend the merging of of two grades gradually, so that shadow changes do not appear as ridges on your drawing. Background - This is entirely a personal preference. If you choose to show a background keep it simple and sketchy, and preferably out of focus - without well defind edges. If your drawing is fairly light you may choose to add a dark background, maybe close shading, or even black.
