Nitram Charcoal Portrait
A4 on toned paper with a touch of white pencil. I quite like the effect of light that can be achieved with this technique. A few times the charcoal went a bit scratchy, this is a rehash or a previous drawing with pencil, I think that one was more precise because I used a grid and this one I didn't but also I spent more time on it. Charcoal is a quicker medium I think but this is not so well polished in any case. Its my second attempt with charcoal maybe I just need more practice.
About the Artist
D Hillman
Inspired by an artist friend I came back to paint a bit at the end of 2017. At the moment I am enjoying it and maybe because I have the patience to look more than I once did I am finding it easier and more enjoyable to actually produce a likeness.
