Faber Castell eraser pencils

Thanks to all for their comments, and encouragement!! It's been AWESOME!!!!!

Hope you like it!!

EDIT: No, I have not been able to get it professionally photographed. I may end up trying to scan it on another scanner. One that won't bend it. I've got to install the scanner to my laptop and then get the drawing from my shop this weekend. So, I'm hoping to have it done over the weekend. Sorry to keep you guys all waiting.

EDIT 10/14/07: Ended up being able to have it photographed afterall!! It's as close to the original as we could get it!! The original may be just a tad bit brighter than this. But it's CLOSE! You can see the details better now!

And we did still have to Photoshop it a little bit, hence the straight line along the jawline on the left. And also the reason the left shoulder doesn't have that corduroy details showing so much. But as I said, this was the best we could do!!

EDIT 10/16/07: I had some time to clean it up a little bit more and also make it look much more presentable. So THIS IS THE FINAL PRODUCT!!
