Here is an update on my latest drawing I’m working on, it’s a self portrait I’m calling “Pain” 9 x 12 graphite on @strathmoreart 300 Bristol Smooth paper. I worked a bit on my Index Finger which was fun, I am really trying to focus on the texture of the skin. Trying to follow the contours and the way light and shadow play together to create shape. For pencils, I used @pentelofamerica P205 mechanical pencils with Pentel 4H, 2H, F, HB, and 2B Hi-Polymer graphite. I don’t use any blending tools. I layer my graphite by making tiny overlapping circular motions with my pencils, starting with a light layer using 4H graphite and light hand pressure. To get a smooth blend, I slowly exhaust the layer before moving up to the next grade of graphite and slowly start to increase my hand pressure at the same time. For me, I find this works best as I feel I have more control. More to come soon! Reference photo is my own using my iPhone 15 Pro Max camera in a tripod with a Bluetooth Remote Shutter.
