I usually follow this steps:
1. I cover a little area on a post-it sheet of paper with a B graphite pencil
2. I use it as a palette, so I rub the brush on that area to load it with a bit of graphite
3. I use the brush on the drawing.

But recently I have bought graphite powder from www.artifolk.co.uk (www.artifolk.co.uk/pencils/gra… and I will definitely give it a try!

Cor-i [2006-03-01 12:41:01 +0000 UTC]

Really beautiful work here. Did I misread you earlier? Did you say you used black water color for this? looks like pencil Maybe you meant that you use a watercolor brush to blend with. I do that sometimes too but normally use a kneeded eraser or qtips work good. I'm not real big on blending tho. Great job.. you have some mad skillz

LucaTedde In reply to Cor-i [2006-03-01 15:57:18 +0000 UTC]

oh yes I use a black watercolor pencil... it's a color pencil that can be used with water or not.. I use it in a dry way, as a substitute of charcoal for the darkest parts (see eyelids, iris, dark shadows, etc.)
Thanks for the comment

i like this so much the shading is so clean and realistic. how did you make the eyes so different so that they stand out? xxx

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

LucaTedde In reply to solpup [2006-01-14 13:19:30 +0000 UTC]

I used a black colored pencil, instead a normal graphite pencil, to draw the eyes... That made the black so black and the eyes stand out more.
