Portrait with pencils
Hey! So, today I wanna show you what I did yesterday.
Like every day, the electricity fails π€― ππ€¬π¬πππΆπ€π€π€π€π€ Well, I guess I should take some advantage of that if you can say it like that to do something with my pencils, some sketches, ideas, or like this one here, a portrait which is A3 size, the largest I've done because the sketches are around 4 or 5 cm.
I've been practicing with Oil pastels, haven't used them in a while, and well, since there's no electricity, I took the opportunity to experiment. So, I made this eye, just to see if it would work for a portrait.
My idea was to overlay it on the portrait I had done, but the Oil pastels are about 1 cm in diameter, which is very tricky for small details. I realized this when I did the iris π π π€£ since the eye was super small, but it seems like it was a good experiment,... it doesn't look so bad even though it lacks detail.
I took some photos while I was making this portrait so you can see the process, the materials were A3 canvas and 3B and 8B pencils.
 I don't usually have any rules, a specific method, or a way to do portraits. In reality, this was super spontaneous, and I only had the rough guideline of where things should go based on the general facial features. |  I was gradually completing the details, or at least the main features of the face, so now you can see or understand that there's a face there. There were still details missing, but it was a start. |
|---|
 As I finished forming the face, I also added some hair, at least some strands of hair, you can see the guide lines I was making, nothing too exaggerated. |  As I progressed, I added more details, this time I wanted to detail the eyes a bit more to add some depth, also in the nose. |
|---|
 Having almost everything structured, I erased the lines I made while drawing, added some shadows, not too strong, just something soft but noticeable enough. |  I started to accentuate a bit more in some areas like the lips, hair, and Bex's eyes, occasionally adding some more shadow. I really liked the eyes... I did this step with the darker pencil. |
|---|
Although I did this drawing on a chalk canvas, which is great because I love the texture it leaves when I use the pencil, also because I didn't want to press too hard with the pencil to emphasize that texture more... the end result gives the feeling of watercolor.
Thank you very much for taking the time to view my work.

Excellent sketches. Sorry to hear about the electricity troubles, but you turned it into something positive. :(I've been meaning to pick up the pencils myself, so this is inspiring.
