The World of XPILAR - PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #051 – Realistic Pencil Drawing.

Hello everyone!
Today I want to share with you all my recent completed pencil drawing.
I used 6hours to complete the drawing. I hope you like it.

Materials used:
General’s charcoal pencil (6B ex. Soft): I use it to achieve dark shade in the dark areas instead of normal 12B graphite pencil to eliminate the graphite shine. I also make power from it and apply with paint brush layer by layer till it gets to the tone I want.
Graphite pencil (2B): In this drawing, I used 2B graphite pencil in the light areas by shading and blending it with tissue paper.
Brushes: I used brushes of different sizes and bristle to apply charcoal powder.
Paper: I used glossy paper (rough side) to complete this drawing.
Eraser: I used Tombo Mono Zero eraser for detailing and making of highlight.

Here are the progressions.

Thank you for viewing, have a great day.
