UYAI ETANG 2024 | graphite and charcoal portrait for a friend's wife.
Hello steemians and my fellow members of @worldofxpilar. still on July cruise. I hope everyone is doing great!? And I hope you had a productive and fruitful weekend!? How is your week 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 UYAI ETANG, the wife of my fellow artist. Mr. Etang.
I can't write anything about her cause the met recently and fell in love, so they got married without delay. Maybe when I get to know her well I will make another post about her. Just feed your eyes. We will talk about her later in the new post about her.

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 for 2024. My client Mr. Etang gave me all the timein I needed. I started working with the clothe. A lace design fitted clothing. I must be honest the clothe took me 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 clients or admirers say "WOW" when the see the finishing of my portrait, so I went back and painstakingly brought out those details on the Gele (headgear), making it look so real.
