Hello everyone! Hope you are doing well. Here is my new art piece. The size is 20x24 inches, and the medium used is charcoal and graphite on paper.
When the client sent me the picture, I didn't like it because of how he stuck out his tongue, and surprisingly, he didn't like it either, but there was no other picture to be used. Before he even asked me if I can make his lips normal or do anything to fix it, I was already thinking about it.
So here is the finished drawing. It didn't come out bad and I'm glad that I still maintain the resemblance. The client was really impressed.
See The Process Below:
I left the mouth to work on it when I'm done with everything.
This the finished piece. Check the reference and the artwork below.
I always love perspex, also known as acrylic, for framing because it's durable like plastic and less prone to breakage compared to glass. After removing the paper cover on both sides, which was already cut to frame size, I placed the drawing inside and covered it with Brazilian cardboard, securing it with small nails. Finally, I covered the back with brown paper to conceal the nails.
This is how it looks like in frame.
MATERIALS
Explanation of the materials I used.
1 and 3 are different sizes of soft, flat paint brushes, used for applying charcoal powder. I utilize the small size for intricate areas and the large size for broader areas.
2 is a hard bristle brush, employed on dark areas where charcoal is applied to prevent smudging, unlike the softer bristle brushes.
4 is a large makeup brush, ideal for covering larger areas with charcoal powder.
5 is a General's charcoal pencil within a pencil holder, utilized for achieving dark tones and creating powder from it.
6 is a Meilanzhuju charcoal pencil, known for its intense darkness, reserved for the darkest areas of the artwork.
7 is a 5B Kimberly graphite pencil, primarily used for sketching and light shading.
8 is a small-tipped makeup brush, used for blending lines seamlessly.
9 is an electric eraser, employed for precise highlights.
10 is a Tombo mono zero eraser, perfect for highlights and adding intricate details.
11 is a Nataraj eraser, presumably for general erasing needs.
12 is a container for storing charcoal powder.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I really hope this post was helpful.
