EARLY ACCESS // sketchbook session
Added 2022-03-11 10:52:42 +0000 UTCIt’s been really sunny weather here lately, even warm enough to spend the afternoon in the backyard! So I sat down to have a drawing session in the sun for the first time this year. I missed these kind of sessions! Here are some faces, drawn with a mix of HB mechanical pencil, blending stump and eraser. All of my pencil sketches have been super inspired by Eliza Ivanova’s work lately, especially how she approaches shadows and volume, so if you haven’t seen her art yet, check it out! Hope you all are doing well and have a lovely weekend! ❤

2022-03-23 02:56:42 +0000 UTCthank you! I'm trying to move away from just lines and get more into the volumes.

2022-03-14 12:52:39 +0000 UTChey! I'm using HB here but I do want softer lead since I feel like this is too hard. I purchased some new lead filling and I'm waiting for it to arrive!

2022-03-11 12:46:57 +0000 UTCMe encantan, son preciosos!!🤗 Quería preguntarte qué dureza de mina gastas para este tipo de retratos, (HB, 2B, 4B...) porque la HB a mí me resulta muy dura y me marca poco, hiriendo al papel si aprieto mucho y tus dibujos tienen mucho contraste. Gracias!!!

2022-03-11 11:26:56 +0000 UTCI love how you draw male faces. They have in my mind like an air of Greek statue. Also, ¡Eliza is amazing!
