think ive completed the top vertical and horizontal lines touched up. It’s so many shades of brown it reminds of the Bridge at Remagan Danish I did. *Sorry lighting inconsistent, but the before and after are seen. Tried to shoot at the same angle.

Am hoping that may have been the most challenging line. @Dario, any thoughts? I had to wet the pencils some to get more coverage, which is great if it’s a really good match, not so good if it’s not....
Appreciate the good words and advice-I was just moving to sharpen the black as it was getting really round. Yes-bleed beyond the fold lines stands out more than if just in the fold, will do!
More to come. The browns are diabolical on this one!
All right. More of my color matching. Inside of mouth this time. This one took two colors blended over each other. Schwartz Black & Caput Mortuum Violet. Who’da thought?!!!
Thanks guys! It’s been a real fun learning experience in shades and layering but well worth the time and efforts.
Was home today with my little boy who was sick w a cold so was able to finish Josey Wales. Am overall very happy with results. Will give the neck a little more attention before cutting down from frame. Think its 99% done! Sorry for bad lighting....
Outlaw Josey Wales received a bit more touch up this afternoon, then was cut down and trimmed. I think it turned out pretty good for my first pencil restoration effort in a year or two!
OK, here’s a little bit of progress from House on Telegraph Hill. Prior to the wash Dried after backing Taped off to add infill pieces to border. Think I lost count after 17? 18? pieces filled in to make the border look good! A lot of work, but so worth it! It’s now ready for the border to get airbrushed.

I guess, if anything. Keep your pencils as sharp/pointy as possible ( all the time ) as the folds are pretty fine. less bleed.
Cheers,

ooOOH! And keep up the good work!

It’s been a busy start to the year, but have been finding a spare minute to give some attention to a few cool Daybills!
Way of a Gaucho!
