Tenderness WIP3

Tenderness WIP3

I had this piece of paper for a long time now and a while ago I decided to draw something simple and relaxed, without too detailed approach. First pencil outlines and the the darkest parts... At first I used different pencils - 2H to 8B and even tried out that 9B (that turned out to be too oily to work with my other graphites) Then I just took one pencil I had, about 7B (don’t really know) and just started drawing the ear and face. Just one grade on the whole piece.
29×42 cm or 11×16 in vellum paper, graphite pencils and sticks, kneaded eraser, tissues.

"Actress"

I started this one after I finished "Black Pearl". Only this time I did the outlines with pencil and eraser first. Then I did the darkest parts with coal. After I took big brush and coal powder and started covering the background.

I removed the coal with kneaded eraser to create the pattern for the background. Smallest details were done with black pencil and very well sharpened coal stick(old ones I have)
