Hi everyone .
Last night I made this face, from photos, an hour, an hour and a half.
Maybe they look a little better in photos.
I don't know how to judge it, that is, if it is ok to use graphite or black colored pencil (I have branded polycor lyra, oil I think, and inktense pencil)
, that is, here I used graphite, I used A4. light photocopy paper. normal I had also taken double card stock even if that is not really a drawing too.
My main question however is whether it is ok to try something like this.
Soft graphite pencil. 4b but it is pencil. This is bigger than 2 mm so I really like it as a graphite pencil. It is similar to the black colored oil pencil (maybe oil) that I also had with me.
However in this attempt I tried with soft graphite always using it on the side. Therefore. I tried Un as when I had tried a few times in the past to copy drawings from charcoal drawings by masters, ancient masters or contemporaries.
Mostly initiated attempts and which I then thought not to try again or not immediately (graphite on the side like charcoal). I wonder if that's something to insist on. More portraits. You draw like this with graphite and flat side. Maybe trying again with more sheets.
This was lightweight photocopy paper. and I took even thicker, 160g a4, and a3 200g,
so like cards, even if that is not really a design too.
And I have 2 albums
Croqui canson xl album, which was the first one I took (and then I had taken it back finding it on offer, actually sketchbook album I was often afraid of getting them dirty, only after some time (thanks also thanks) I realized that it is paper and waste and do not use it and after taking it, in any case photocopy paper) it seems to me rougher than these and therefore I find it even less smooth so among the albums I have tried not all of them I find worse than photocopy paper for charcoal drawings,
when I admire the charcoal works in photos, they are very smooth in shading. Although I don't think it depends so much on the means.
doubt and if maybe try again with a tip, but maybe the idea is to continue and try again all the things and reuse, try again with the various pencil and with both types of sheets that I have.
