Let me start with the answer to the logical question that says "if it takes 10 minutes to boil an egg, how many minutes will it take to boil two?" The same 10 minutes would boil an egg, right? Yeah, that's it but it's not so when it comes to art. An hour spent on drawing a portrait is obviously not enough to make two portrait but a double times and few minutes spent on drawing a portrait for a two-in-portrait. I made the commissioned portrait on a white cardboard with charcoal pencil ✏ for the dark in complexion man and and mechanical pencil ✏ for the fair in complexion man. The look and complexion of the character basically determines the kind of pencil ✏ to be used at a particular spot, a particular air and a particular drawing surface 📝.

Drawing materials:

  • White cardboard surface
  • Charcoal pencil
  • Mechanical pencil
