Commissoned art

Pictures and drawings are to create memories but alot of us love drawings , paintings because they are hand made.

Some people prefer their picture
Enlarged with either painting or drawing and this wasn't an exception,it was a bithday gift from his lovely Sister.

This piece was done with charcoal and graphite pencils only

Now let's talk about the shade,l really enjoyed working on the shade because of the darkness and the little light reflections in it,it gave me so much joy.

I Shoved the graphite pencil into fine dust, added a bit of machine oil to it for the graphite to assume a paste form, then the application was done using a dry brush hence the name "dry brush" Why I use this method is because it is someway close to making a dry brush painting. Infact I call it the graphite dry brush painting. That's what gives me the smooth skin texture.

Above is the final shot of the work,it was delivered and so much appreciated,have fun viewing them
