Hello steemians and my fellow members of @worldofxpilar I'm still on July artwork collection. I hope everyone is doing great!? And I hope you had a productive and fruitful week? Thank God it's Friday (TGIF). How is your weekend going to be? It's great down here. From what I'm seeing, this year will be greater than last year. Your favorite artist has something for you. I was cooking and it's done now. I'm here again with another realistic graphite/charcoal portrait. I want to present to you a realistic portrait drawing of my a white man I did for my personal collection. more of it will drop this month.
This July I'm very productive. I'm not just busy for nothing.
I can't write anything about him because he is not my.client. He's an Instagram model. I fell in love with the picture so I decided to create an art work out of it. I really took my time since it's a personal collection.

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. It's one of my masterpiece and personal collection for 2024. Since it is my personal collection I didn't rush it .I started working with the eyes. I must be honest the beards took my time more than every other feature in this work. I was very careful. Since the portrait is small and use my tombo mono zero eraser to erase lights, highlights and fine lines, making it real and accurate. everything went well. This is one of my portrait that is done with graphite/charcoal powder. As usual I love detailing my drawing well. I love it when my fans, client or admirers say "WOW" when the see the finishing of my portrait, so I went back and painstakingly brought out those details on the clothe, making it look so real.
With the help of tombo mono zero eraser I could bring out the stripe lines on the suit. With the help of mechanical pencil I could bring out the dots on the shirt he's wearing inside the suit.
I painstakingly did all that just to make my work look so real, as a professional artist that I am.
That's why I titled the job "Immaculate"
