This is my portrait drawing i did as a commission. A4 size- 8.3 x 11.7 in. The person gave me permission to use it, so i made a little video using process photos, for you all to see how it was done from the very beginning, till the very end.
The goal of the hyper realist artist is to achieve a photographic level of realism in their subjects, one that makes viewers gasp at the fact that they are looking at a drawing, not in fact a photograph.
Many artists use different materials, some go in for colored pencils, others for graphite or charcoal. I myself work with charcoal on my animal and wildlife drawings.
This portrait, as well as almost every human portrait drawing i do, i made using 2b pencil.
At first it was a little bit scary and challenging for me, because of the big shadow in the drawing . It is very easy to ruin the portrait in one second.
I will include a link to my verification post, that all of the drawings posted here are done by me: https://steemit.com/art/@edgarsart/edgarsart-original-art-now-verified
