Hi hivers! How was your Valentine celebration. I hope you are having a great week. My dear members of @Sketchbook I am here to share my most recent realistic charcoal pencil portrait of my recent commission piece I did for my Friend Toby Okon.
Tob Okon is my friend on Facebook. She did what so many clients hardly do. The first portrait I did for her was portrait of herself which is rare. As an artist I hardly see client who want themselves drawn first before surprising anyone with a portrait.
Materials
| Paper | glaze card |
|---|---|
| Size | 10 X 12 inches |
| Pencils | charcoal pencil and powder |
| Eraser | Tombo mono zero and nataraj vynil eraser |
| Camera | infinix mobile phone |
| Duration | Approximately 9 hours |
| Location | Home |
Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the eyes before going up to the hair.This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I was told that my client will really appreciate a good work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who my client may be.
I myself love how I went about detailing her hair and her clothes.
There's no guessing here, Tobi really love the job.
Observe the details. The hidden necklace. The smile which goes with the gum and teeth. The wig. Everything is just perfect.
