Yeah it is, well it is with pencil - I just find it really time consuming and difficult! However with this painting it's been surprisingly smooth and easy going in regards to hair... It's mostly mark making and with oils and layers you can get away with just plotting random tones/being a bit messy to achieve a somewhat hair-like texture. I've loved doing this painting surprisingly considering how much I was dreading it and was afraid to do an oil for years - already got two more planned, one of Grace Jones and one of Joni Mitchell, just some images I saw that I loved! Probably won't be doing them until January or after though!
