Hello friends of the Hive community and welcome to this space dedicated to drawing. This time I want to share this new drawing portrait that was commissioned for my brother girlfriend. I hope you like it.
My brother girlfriend finds out that I make portraits in drawing and she all excited asks me to make a pencil portrait of her. And I answer him .. Of course this will be my birthday present since in the next few weeks it is your birthday.
Already committed to his gift, I start to work on the drawing and begin to use materials such as the 6B graphite pencil, soft bristle brushes, a moldable eraser, a cardboard measuring 12 x 16 inches and using a reference photo I begin to create main parts of the face such as his eyes, his eyebrows, nose and his lips. Then would come the creation of the skin creating a very soft layer of graphite as if stroking the paper and then with the help of a soft bristle brush I expand the graphite and thus create a smooth and even surface leaving some tones for the lights and shadows and make use of charcoal pencil 6b for the head tie and other dark part in the portrait
