Working On A New Piece - Pencil Portrait Drawing

Today I want to show you my current drawing I have been working on for a couple of days now using graphite pencils and mechanical pencil my medium.

The pencils are mechanic pencil, 4B pencil, 8B pencil and 12B pencils.

I know my engagement here has dropped and haven't posting any art work for some days now coupled with the HF21 issues, but I'm working a lot on my artworks and am trying as much as I could to show up.

• Below is my development process

Step 1

I skeched out my model with the help of grid lines using mechanical pencil. I took time to observe the work carefully before I proceeded to the main work

Step 2

I worked from the left side of the work to the right side by adding tones and values.

Here, I first shaded it with mechanical pencil, blended it and overlayed it with 4B pencil. Thereafter, I used 8B pencil to make it a little bit darker.

I used this process for other areas that have the same texture and tone.

Step 3

The above process was used here. However, for the eyes and eyelashes, I applied 12B to make it look very dark.

The introduction of eyes, nose and mouth made the work appear real.

That's all for now...

Thank you for stopping by.
