Sometimes I surprise myself with what Iām able to achieve when I put all I have into a drawing. When thereās no disturbance and all the artistic juices are flowing through my veins.
Today Iām sharing this birthday portrait of a man I made recently, he was turning 60 and his family decided to surprise him with this beautiful gift.
I made this with Prismacolor pencils and pastels on grey straw board paper.
Hereās a few progress shotsā¦
As I often do, I started sharing by defining values with charcoal before going in with colorsā¦
Pastel chalks to establish tones before refining with pencilsā¦
