First
sketch, cleaned up with an eraser, to establish the placement of the figures.
(18x24 Paper)
Initial
shading of the first figure. Started with a 6B pencil to add some darkness
to eyes and dark streaks in hair. Shaded with a soft cloth and powdered graphite.
Completion
of the first figure, and partial shading of the background. I created the
background effect with a soft paper towel dipped in powdered graphite, and
then dabbed on the paper.
Initial
shading of the second figure. I did some indenting with a 2H pencil in the
beard and hair first to create texture for the hair.
Final
shading of second figure and continued work on banner and background.
I used powdered graphite on a cloth and an 8B woodless graphite pencil for
his hair.
Initial
shading of last figure. Started adding some dark values with a 6B pencil and
shading with a soft cloth.
Completed drawing.
I always clean
up highlights with a rubber eraser. I also used an eraser to create the
background"glow". After dabbing on the graphite, I pulled the
eraser back through it. I added lots of detail to the drawing, so it took
several hours to complete.
