Hello Folks!

Yesterday, after so long without taking a pencil i decided to make a new illustration, i had some outstanding drawings that some friends asked me and i wanted to practice with this:

This is Black Panther from the blockbuster movie "The Avengers "

I lost the habit of holding a pencil but in a short time i recovered the feeling with it and began to do what i like to do the most

I liked this illustration because it has several elements that i like to practice, as are those textures of scales on the body and also the abrupt change of dark tones, the light when hitting a dark body creates an incredible effect and it is this the things that like to practice

Process:

The tools that i used were:

HB, 6B Pencil.
Charcoal Pencil.
A4 Opaline.
Brush.
Moldable Eraser.
Diffuser.

I started by making the sketch with the pencil hb, followed by illustrating the elements of the helmet with the charcoal pencil.
It has many details and reflections that i easily detailed with the brush and the diffuser.

I use gloves to avoid traces of my hands, when working with dark tones is easy to stain.

I finished illustrating the face, using the moldable eraser i made the effects of light, the contrast look great!.
Now the most complicated part, the neck.
This has many details and textures, and the reflection of light. I should point out the necklace and the suit.

Using the pencil 6B i made some details, the darkest with charcoal and with the help of the moldable eraser i made the reflections of light.
The small scales of the suit were made with the charcoal pencil and the diffuser and with the moldable eraser i gave them volume and depth.

Finally i finished making the details, now i wanted to add the 3D effect that is seen in the second image, this i did with graphite powder and help with a piece of cotton and the brush.
