Hi everyone! I'd love to share all about how I make portraits for my good friends. I think flowers are the prettiest things ever. Improves the aesthetics of everything around it.
I use graphite and charcoal for the main subject and then colored pencils for the flowers.
I don't know about other artists but I haven't seen anyone draw like this. I'm sure there are but I haven't met anyone.
And here's one I made, most recent
Oooh I like this shot a lot it's like putting on eyeliner. Putting darker shades makes such a difference in the transition of your drawing.
Always observe tonal value and gradation.
Then I fill the hair strands and leave out some white for the shine
I add another level of dark shades.
To make it more lifelike and 3D
Hope you learned and enjoyed.
Feel free to comment/ critique
