Hello everyone…..thank you so much for the love and support you bestowed over my previous sketch. It really motivated me to continue sharing my sketches with you all.
This is my second post in my series of figure drawings but actually I sketched it first. This was also the first time I used charcoal for my sketches. And the charcoal (some local brand) I used wasn’t of good quality because it didn’t smudge and erase easily so you can see I couldn’t actually capture the contours of the arms perfectly but it produced really dark values which kind of look good.
I used charcoal for laying out extra dark values, 8B graphite pencil for dark detailed values and 2H for lighter values. I started out with charcoal, laying in the dark values and getting the overall proportions right. Then the process of filing in the details using 8B and 2H pencil and removing charcoal using eraser continued. This process continued for about 3-4 hours and I was left exhausted but euphoric. Cheers, if you made it this far :p …….
hope you like it...
