We're done with the Chanel decor for the moment and changing the accent colors in my studio. Just the necessities here.
To take up some spare time, meantime, doing some graphite drawings per request. I noticed when you've not done anything for weeks, getting back into it is a little frustrating (at least for me). So, something easy like Daenerys from Game of Thrones and all her blond locks. Easy, right? I think it will be completed in three phases. The first or what I like to call, the blocking out phase, working out the kinks in the placement of everything. So here is phase one:
For phase one, blocking in with Cretacolor Monolith pencil in 4B, as well as a mechanical pencil with AinStein 4B lead. A really light very hard pencil, 6H for the delicate first layer of skin. Time with this is about 1.5 hours. The paper is 11x14" Fabriano Studio 90# hot press watercolor paper. No blending at this point.
Phase two: More detailed and darkening as well as a little blending. Working on the final phase(s).
