Description Graphite on bristol board, mostly 2H and HB (all the dark shading is .7mm HB mechanical pencil -- pentel leads are really great). Minimal blending.


I added in the rest of the hair from the last portrait -- which at the very least was good practise. Comparisons with the previous version welcomed! [Now in Scrap]

I really like this. The detail in the hair is very good. The only question I have is how white the face is. It almost looks washed out. But it is an excellent drawing!

Thanks that's funny, my friend said that was his favourite part of the drawing (hopefully not because I hadn't ruined it by drawing there aha). The idea behind this was to do quite a minimalistic drawing with hardly any blending and as much negative space as possible. I think the latest one i've done was a bit more ambitious if less effective as i've tried to get the facial tone probably inspired by [link] check her out

Wow, that artist is good. I have to admit to liking the drawings of hers that have more tones in the skin but she definitely has her own style and is very good at it. I had debated if I should have said anything about your face because I have seen other artists who draw with no skin tone. The pictures are gorgeous but I must admit to missing skin tones. I have to work very hard at that myself and want to just leave things more simple, but I also want realism in my drawings. So no criticism of your work, believe me. It is great and you did a good job.
