Here’s a quick little time lapse of a process of recent eye study. How often do you practice drawing individual facial features?i find concentrating on one feature at a time, really helps me understand how the anatomy works. If anyone has any questions on my process, I’m happy to answer below. 👇

Work in progress. Worked on this piece for a couple of hours today. It’s amazing how no drawing ever goes entirely to plan! The only hope is that in the end, you have created something you are happy with!

I have found over the years that the biggest steps in my artistic ability coincide with the times I am experimenting most. For this piece, I sat down at the easel with a blank piece of paper and just tried things! One of the things I love about charcoal is the variety of effects you can use to give your piece texture and interest. I never really “finished” this piece, but I kind of like it at this unfinished stage.

The part of the drawing no one ever sees. This part of the process requires the most brain power and and concentration and it is often tempting to rush on to blocking in values. But this stage is so important to creating a believable and and convincing head and face.

Back working on @strathmoreart Bristol paper for this drawing. I really enjoy the smoothness of this paper that allows the smooth gradients of tone. I also find the paper quite workable, meaning I can quite easily erase back close to white.

The devil is in the details! One of the things I love most about charcoal is the ability to achieve a such variety of textures from one medium. These shots are from a series I’m working on in the background that I’m hoping to release later in the year.
