I put the portrait aside for a bit and went back to working on this thing. I’ve had to darken some areas as I’ve developed the background, and in the process I think I’ve messed up the finish a little here and there, but whatever. The main thing now is to finish it to the best of my ability and get on to the next, better one.
October 26, 2021 at 7:50 am #1869524The figure drawing above immediately caught my eye in the forum thumbnails – it was the effect of the dark background behind the glowing figure that drew my intention. Wonderfully rendered too – I’m envious!
Mind me asking what paper you use? I bought some “fancy” paper to try some charcoal drawings but it tears so easily that it prevents much rework.
October 26, 2021 at 2:20 pm #1871310Thank you very much, Jac! The paper I’m using is toned tan Strathmore 400 series, from an 18″ x 24″ pad. It’s pretty nice and takes a reasonable amount of punishment. I’ve been trying to get my hands on a roll of the white version, but they’re pretty hard to come by in my part of the world.
DAY 80
Not finished with this yet, but have got pretty close and am putting it aside for a bit while I start anoth one, and I’ll come back to it in a bit and add any final touches.

Such incredible control of values, you should be proud even if you think you messed some parts up, as you say. I don’t see nothing but a beautiful piece of work. Can’t wait to see what you do with this next one, which is already looking great. Thanks for leaving the measuring lines in, it helps to make a mental note in my brain, to do these things! 🙂
