REALISTIC CHARCOAL DRAWING OF A GENTLEMAN || club5050

Greetings to everyone
So glad to be here again. I’m glad to see the efforts of the admins of this community as they have put hands together to support creative artist and fight against plagiarism in art as well. A thanks to everyone one.

Today, I want to present to everyone my latest drawing as shown above and always explain the materials used.

As it is always mandatory, below are my progress shot;

Finish is cap

Finished the portrait drawing

Framed


Below are the materials I used in making this piece and their uses;

• General's charcoal pencil: A chalky medium, used in drawing/shading dark tones and also to add dark details in drawing

Soft Graphite pencils: Used to draw sketch outline.

Blending stump: a soft paper-like material that is used for blending and add details such as wrinkle.

• Tissue paper: It is used for blending of shades

• Soft flat brushes: Used also for blending. The different textures of the brush gives different textures in the drawing

• Tombow eraser: it is used for creating complex details such as skin details and highlight etc clean unwanted part and also add highlights in drawing

• Drawing Paper: A base where we draw on. It is measure in Gram per square meter (GSM).

• A clean sheet of paper: This is any small sheet of paper that can be used to place our hands when drawing to avoid smudging our drawing.

Thank you for reading through.
I’m always available to link interested learners to materials that will guide them to improve their drawing skills faster.
Much love
