Hello awesome people! 
A lot of you have been asking how I do white stray hairs and I promised a tutorial ... a long time ago!
Well, better late than never right? 
A big thanks to Angelic
. Rogue (from X-Men) was her suggestion and I think she was a perfect reference for this tutorial! (I hope you think the same! 
)
And I can't believe I forgot to mention the name of the technique!
Oh, God! Anyway it is called INDENTING!!!
UPDATE: I was informed that "impressed lines" is a more common name for the technique. Hope it is helpful!
Here is the finished artwork:
PS: If you can't see some images clearly, I can upload them in my scrap folder. Just tell me!

Oh my, this is super smart! I always use a kneaded eraser, put you have to have lots of patience haha. I was only wondering, what if you smooth out the pencil? For example, by rubbing a paper or your finger over the surface, will the graphite fill up the lines?
