Update, I'm now starting 2B layer. I usually draw everything layer by layer, starting with 2H, then HB, 2B and so on. Usually I end up at 6B, sometimes I use 8B or infinite black pencil for darkest areas.

I love how the drawing is emerging with this technique.

I have been seeing a lot of #b&w art lately and I must say - I miss my pencils and sketchbooks to do more of these :D #monochrome #graphite #pencil #art

I'm feeling the thawing energy of spring. Here's a sketchbook page to spread the joy.

Graphite sketch of Miles Davis. He is shirtless with a necktie tied loosely around his neck. His head is tilted slightly, and he has a pensive expression on his face. There is part of a large picture frame behind him.

Another quick #sketch of Miles Davis

120 hours, graphite on A3. I've always grown up with patterned everything, colours that stain the eye and weaved matts sewn by the generation before. One of my most detailed pieces to date

A self-portrait I drew last night! #blueskyart #artwork #artist #pencilportrait #sketch #drawing #graphite #sketching

Graphite drawing of Jaime Pressly's face with intense eyes and slightly open lips. The high contrast creates a dramatic, expressive tone.

Day's greetings.

Yet again, TFIF! 😁
If I got time in lieu for my extra work, I could take 2 weeks off. But it'll be worth it.

More coffee.

One of my favourites:

"Jaime"

Recent drawing of one of my characters.
So, I made this some time ago and forgot to post it.

Two drawings of a woman in 3/4 view looking to the right. One is more rounded and one is more angular but they're supposed to be the same person.

Two drawings of a woman looking down with her eyes mostly closed. One is looking directly at her, the other is more 3/4 view. This one is more believably the same person in both

Portrait drawing class last night! It's hard! All four drawings are of the same model but getting the likeness right is difficult (and we were focusing more on plausibility)
