More to come soon!

Here’s a small update on “Pain” 9 x 12 graphite on Strathmore 300 Bristol Smooth paper.

I managed to get my eyelid done. I used 6H, 4H, and 2H pencils initially to layer some graphite down. Then I used a kneaded eraser that I pinched to a point to pick out the highlighted areas.

Here is a small update on my self portrait “Pain” 9 x 12 graphite on Strathmore 300 Bristol Smooth paper.

I’m slowly building up the values, tones, and texture of my skin on my nose. I don’t use any blending tools. I love to create texture of skin by slowly layering my graphite.
