Video-Realistic Portrait Drawing

While most of my drawings are left blank, I have found that in certain circumstances it is necessary to add a background in order to place the subject in context to its surroundings.  While this may have been a decent portrait on its own, I think adding the background of mountains and water really helps pull the drawing together and make it look more like a completed piece.  This drawing was done in about two hours, so the details are limited.  I did it quickly to make sure the video didn’t run too long.  The drawing is 12″ x 15″ on toned paper with pastel pencil.  It provides for lots of contrast with the black and white.  Enjoy!

Video-Self Portrait with Grid-lines

When working on commissioned portraits I use a very elementary system of grid lines.  I first print out whatever I’m drawing and than box it out with 1″ squares.  If my drawing is a 16″ x 20″ the boxes will be 2″.  This ensures that my proportions are correct (or as correct as I can get them).  I did this video to show the boxes and how I use them.  There are lots of ways of laying out a drawing.  This, for me, is the easiest and fastest way.   The lines disappear on the charcoal paper I usually draw on, so I did this drawing on regular drawing paper with a 3B drawing pencil.  It was a lovely break to get away from the pastel pencils for a few and just draw without blending or worrying about highlights.
