Hi everyone,
Drawing is what I feel least confident with when it comes to art, so I want to slowly start sharing some on my work on here in an effort to help me improve.
This is a graphite portrait drawing I made of the neuroscientist, Jaak Pankseep. He is a significant role model and inspiration of mine, so I tried my hardest to draw this as well as I could. This is also a sort of preparation for an oil painting I want to make of this image.
I feel I focused too much on the emotional connection and realism at the sacrifice of solid construction and form.
I wanted to create an image with a high to mid major key, with a high to mid minor key for his portrait, mid minor key for the rat, and low minor key for the clothing.
I wasn’t sure how to create an overall high major key for this image. I wanted this image to be only graphite, so was unsure how to achieve it well with no use of whites. I used 2H, H, HB and B for this.
Thanks in advance for any help and feedback 🙂
