Portrait II with Graphite Rod

Greetings my dear Hive community!!!

Good evening, dear community!!!

This post was intended for yesterday, but I was very busy, and since there were no power outages either (~~strange thing~~), I wanted to make the most of yesterday and work non-stop on the commission I was assigned.

Using the same materials as in the last post, I created another portrait in which I continued experimenting and playing with my Graphite Rod, a gift I received a few years ago at an exhibition featuring both my physical and some of the digital works I had done at that time. A famous artist from my city attended my exhibition (I had the privilege of having him there and receiving some good advice from him), and according to him, he loved my work, so he kindly gave me that gift.

Since then, I hadn't used my gift until a few days ago when I decided to try something new. Also, without electricity, I can't do my #DigitalArt. So, isn't it a great time to start using my gift, right? Lol. 😋😋😋

This is the third time I use my Graphite Rod, so I already feel a bit more confident using it. It used to be more complicated, and besides, I would get covered in graphite everywhere... Even my face would get dirty with this, lol. Although I still get dirty, I feel that I no longer have as much fear when starting to make my strokes on the canvas.

Just like in my last post, I didn't have anything specific to do, so I just went with the flow until I basically had something "a bit clearer".

After various stops (not all of them are visible in the video due to its duration; they were edited, but yes), they were basically to pause a bit and think about how everything was turning out. Also, to go wash up since I get very dirty using the graphite... I don't know how many times I went to wash up, but it was definitely many. Lol

With more confidence, there is more disorder, hehehehe, but this is something new for me... So let me experiment a bit, okay? Hehehehe

I must also confess that it's a bit challenging, at least for me, to do small things with my graphite rod since the tip is thick. But with many trials and the eraser, I manage to handle it a bit.

And to finish, with a napkin, I remove a bit of the excess dirt, in addition to polishing my portrait a bit.

After struggling to take a decent photo, I managed to get one, and then with #Photoshop, I edited it a bit to make it look better... And that's how my work ended. I hope you liked both the video and my portrait.

I say goodbye... Most likely, we'll see each other next week since I still have a lot to do with the commission I'm working on, so I don't think I can do anything for these days.

Thanks to everyone for watching my post, and have a happy and beautiful weekend.

Until next time!!!
