Hi tod @s s ! I present my project of the pencil portrait course. Maybe I should have chosen a paper with an even finer grain, but hey, I think I'm happy with the result.
What I have found more difficult is to measure the interior when there are hardly any references of any kind, perhaps the only one is the size of the hair block compared to that of the face, as Diego indicates in the course videos.
I would like to know your opinion and of course the opinion of Diego Catalán, as a teacher of the course.
@miguelangelmorales87facebook I recommend you not to blur your drawing excessively or it will have a blurry appearance. The trick is to blur and redraw on top, in this way the lines do not lose their strength. You can make the most of the contrast between dark tones, this will give it a greater sensation of three-dimensionality. As for the grain of the paper, it is a matter of taste, I like that it has texture but if you are looking for hyperrealism, a finer grain is necessary.
@oomagicoo thanks for the contribution. Indeed it did, but I was limited by the maximum degree of darkness that the pencils have offered me, and "lowering" the rest of the values, it looked very gray and with little force ... perhaps I should have used a little charcoal. Thanks!!
I really like Miguel Angel! It is very solid and the choice of values is correct. Without seeing the original photo I do not dare to speculate but I suspect that the work of the hair may be more nuanced in the selection of the intensity of the highlights and highlights of the strands. Take a look with the mirror to see if the photo asks you to turn off some of those strands a bit;) Good job!
@diego_catalan Thank you very much for your advice. The paper did not let me darken any more, in fact, if I pressed more with the graphite it gave me the feeling that the paper was "disintegrating", although of course, it never happened. I have in mind to do another graphite project, but this time it will be for one person. I will be using a lower grain paper to delve more into dark areas without textures.
I also bought the other full body anatomy course, which by the way, CONGRATULATIONS for each and every one of the explanations you give. They are very significant and you go piece by piece in a thorough way. MARVELOUS. I will also do my project.
Please would you need some advice regarding taking action when not many references are available. Thanks and regards!
