Charcoal Pencil (White and Black) on Canson Bisque<\/p><\/div>\n

So this is actually one of my more effective styles of rendering a portrait.\u00a0 Drawing on toned paper with two charcoal pencils (white and black) is something I can do pretty fast.\u00a0 Much quicker than the drawings in my previous posts.\u00a0 Many years ago I drew on Canson Ingres and Bisque and just found that the 3 types of tones one can get just adds a painterly feel.\u00a0 I haven’t been to the art store in a while so I hope they still carry these varieties of paper for $3? each?<\/p>\n

The highlights that I can’t get in pure white stonehenge paper is easily achieved with the soft white charcoal pencil.\u00a0 Even light hatching can add a sense of form.\u00a0 For hair, which as you can probably tell, is one of the main elements of all my drawings, it’s easy to get freeform organic marks that mimic the way hair flows.\u00a0 This paper in real life is a bit dull and not as saturated as you see here, but that’s just what I do.\u00a0 Photos of drawings from my photos, to try and show some aesthetic quality at every step.\u00a0 Going back to what I mean about effective, these types of drawings only take about 2 hours at most, and it’s really engaging.\u00a0 Mistakes can normally be fixed by the kneaded eraser, and the way the tones play off each other is not boring for the artist.\u00a0 For figure drawing classes over the years I would often opt for this paper and media combo for the last pose\/drawing of the evening.\u00a0 Sometimes it would be wasted as time would expire, but if the lighting was good and contrasty and I worked fast I could get something decent.<\/p>\n
