Hello friends, today I present this art publication, in these times it is very fashionable to take self-photographs with cell phones, we see many people doing "selfies" it is fashionable to do these activities, but we also see many funny faces, the facial expression is an extraordinary body language, in this way continuing with the theme of realistic monochrome art, this opportunity I wanted to take in high contrast of the Hb-2 and B-6 graphite pencil, on a white smooth cardboard surface, total working hours 10 hours.
"Una cara divertida"
Paso 1 y 2 | Step 1 and 2
I make the sketch in graphite pencil, with the initials Hb-2, it is important to take into account the appropriate symmetries of the body components, the posture and the shadows to be projected.
Paso 3 y 4 || Step 3 - 4
With the technique of hatching, the skin textures are applied, I am giving soft layers, trying to have a uniform pattern, with very small linear strokes I am filling in the layers, this step is of great concentration and patience, the dark tones are applied with the graphite pencil b6, so we can give a more adequate contrast to the drawing.
o carry out works that have a level of realism, you always have to do a preliminary study, identify the elements that are going to be drawn, have control of each space that is going to be drawn, dedicate the necessary time to each sector that is going to be drawn. work, patience is essential in this type of art with graphite pencils, but it is a great satisfaction to work with this technique because of the degree of demand that is needed, after you do your first works you will get hooked on this wonderful technique of visual art.
