During this task, I get to break away from using colour and back to using pencils. The task is to create a tonal drawing, three-quarter-length portrait.
Process
I first start my sketch with thumbnail ad basic shapes with measurements.
After the proportion is correct I start and add the details
Rendering the sketch to be cleaner
I was given feedbacks and adjustments to my drawing to create my life drawing to capture the character of the model.
I begin shading the piece with mainly cross-hatching as the main method. I soon find it difficult to fill in the entire space of trousers area so I colour it instead
Once the colouring is no used, I use charcoal powder to smudge in the large area that needs dark value.
Final Piece
I have been using a mechanical pencil to create finner detail on the face structure for sharper and cleaner lines. I think with that method helped me a lot in this piece and I am quite proud of it. I would improve further on the value and create more contrast but I also can't help but feel it is already finished. I have more understanding of the body structure with this task along with getting more used to this model's facial structure.
