Beginnings of a new portrait. This is 11 x 14 graphite on Strathmore
Bristol Smooth paper. So far I'm using only a Pentel P205 mechanical
pencil with a 2B lead. I'm blending using a medium tortillion.
To
begin, I print out my reference photo in gray scale. I then create my
line drawing which I call the ugly stage of my process. The line
drawing is drawn fairly quickly and doesn't really look like much at
this point. I also map out where I want the facial features as well as
shadow and light. Once I'm content with the line drawing, I can start
to bring my subject to life on paper.
