Art: Darth Vader / Realization step by step!
Hello colleagues and dreamers! Here is a new drawing, which is nothing more and nothing less than Darth Vader, the mythical character, the classic villain who has become an icon of popular culture. From his breathing, to his way of speaking and his unforgettable lines (Who could forget the "I am your father"?) In short, this iconic character has had a great impact within the culture, and for that reason they gave me eager to draw him, as a lover of popular culture and Star Wars.
I hope you enjoy being geeks or just lovers of drawing, even an observer looking for something worthwhile. Finally, without further ado and just thanking them a lot, we go to the main course.
Here the finished drawing:

Drawing pencils:
In the drawing they will always be used, they are fundamental pieces because with good use of them we can make from simple shadows to more difficult paths and details that give realism and volume to the drawings. I used pencils H, 3B, 6B and 8B for this work.
Erasers and Wipes-types:
What makes a drawing different from the rest or that is at least delightful to the eye when working in chiaroscuro, is nothing more and nothing less than the details, especially brightness or light parts, as these are what give the Realistic touch to the drawings next to the volume and depth. And in this the Erasers and the Clean-types are the most ideal, with these will be achieved by children more pleasant for drawing.
Diffusers:
Good shading is essential when working with chiaroscuro techniques. And so that the fingers do not burn, blurring or we have dirty hands, because pencils B are prone to cause disasters if they are not handled well. For all this, the Dumpers are the solution, the shadows will be more neat and aligned with each other, you can also make the scale of degradation with shadows and join several pencils more easily. It's not just using the Dummies with fierceness, it's being careful and knowing how to handle the density of the shadows. I'm still learning how to use them, but I'm glad it gets better and better.
