II Bargue Drawing

[Grapes]

Pencils H, HB and 2B on canson paper.
This is my second ever Bargue done with pencils. I almost broke the paper on the cheek area.

That's incredible Grapes really well done.

Just looked up Bargue. I'm interested in trying that too.

 

[Grapes]

Jade, thanks!
When you start one, you can ask me if you have any questions or want critique. Although I'm not a good adviser/teacher but I have some knowledge of them.

At first I thought l wouldn't like drawing them because I had only been painting with oils and l found drawing boring but for my surprise I enjoyed tremendously drawing bargues. Now that you mentioned it, I should do another one. I always wanted and I have plenty of plates to choose.

 

[Grapes]

I recommend Canson paper for it. I've been drawing the Animal& Wildlife Challenge animals to a sketch paper and find myself pretty fast in trouble.

Thanks Grapes, I appreciate that and the tips. Have you heard of Sylvie Mahdal on YT. not bargue, but her shading and drawings are incredible.

 

[Grapes]

I didn't know Sylvie's videos or work before. I didn't yet open the videos but I'm sure there's lots of information. Looks really good work!

This is phenomenal. Until I saw your description, I thought it was a photo of a sculpture. Your patience is only matched by your talent.

 

[Grapes]

Joy, thank you. You're too kind.
