Hello Everyone.
Today, I made this wildlife drawing depicting a buffalo in the dark using a white Charcoal pencil on black cardboard paper. As always, this effect is possible due to the reflection property of the black paper and the artistic effect of the white pencil on black cardboard paper. I made this drawing to practice wildlife drawing and detailing using the white charcoal. My wildlife reference photograph was found on the internet with no linked source.
Here are the steps involved;
I began by making an outline sketch of the buffalo with the white charcoal pencil.
Next, I began to shade and add details to its skin starting from the face, to its body and finally to its horns.
To complete the drawing, I used the white charcoal to draw some grasses around the buffalo for a wildlife look.
As always, I adjusted the amount of pressure I exerted on the white charcoal pencil as I went from the face to its back to give the effect of a fade.
Thank you for reading and checking out my drawing. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day.
