Portrait with Graphite Rod

about 1 year ago

Greetings my dear Hive community!!!

Good evening, dear Hivers!!!

It had been a long, long time since I uploaded any video on the #3Speak platform, so today that changed... Although I must confess that it wasn't something planned in advance, as the video I made today was mainly due to the constant problems of power outages lasting more than 5 hours. During all that time, to do something productive, I engage in something, and this time that something was creating the video I made today.

I'm working on something very important for a game that will be released very soon... I was in charge of creating different characters for the game, and this time they asked me to make a banner for its launch. So that's why I shouldn't be very active around here, as I don't have time for anything else. Moreover, the delivery time is very short. But, as we frequently suffer from power outages, I decided to do what you see today while waiting for the electricity to come back to resume my work.

I searched among my art materials and chose graphite to create this portrait. Well, among the canvas I have with different textures, I chose this one that I love for its texture. That's how it all started.

The truth is, it's a bit difficult to do things without a sketch, and even more so if you don't have a concrete idea of what to do. But, since this was something "not so smooth," and as I was staining the canvas with graphite, it was taking shape until I had a clear idea, which can be appreciated much better in the video.

After all that, in this part, everything was already better, and I already knew how I was going to create this portrait.

I refined my work a bit more, adding more volume, just as I did some hair, and I tried to complete a bit more towards the bottom of my work
-.-

More advanced than the previous step, there were more shadows and disorder throughout the canvas, but the truth is, that's what I was looking for. I didn't want something so neat; I just wanted a more chaotic style.

And to finish, I wanted to give it a different touch so that it had another view, and I added more stains between the eyes and lips. Why? Well, so that you can imagine whatever you want when you see the portrait, all according to your criteria. Well, if my work inspires something, lol.

A bit more disorder above among the stains to simulate the hair, and also, that I forgot to mention before, I grabbed and gave some details in red to give it a bit of color... minimal, but it has XD.

I hope you liked my video/drawing. See you tomorrow, as, since there were 5 hours without light, I had time to make two portraits, so it's most likely that tomorrow I'll share the other work I did with all of you.

See you and have a very happy night. Until soon!!!
