A speed drawing video (speed x64) of me drawing Tobuscus (Toby Turner), from YouTube. The original post can be seen here. I am using graphite pencils and coal for the drawing. The glove I am wearing is a SmudgeGuard2, to avoid smudging.

Hello! A new drawing is finished - this time Tobuscus (Toby Turner), known from YouTube. I mainly used graphite for the drawing, but also a little coal (which I regretted immediately!). 

As with the last drawing, there is a video of me drawing the drawing.

I hope you like it!

A rose in bloom inspires me
leading my pencil, the brier
Into my room; to there I flee
Into my room; where I am free
to do whatever heart desire
where I endeavor to aim higher
With this effort put in from start
with the use of all my heart
and with the risk being called liar
I will dare to call this rose: art“

It’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!

Hello folks

As a bonus after my project, i stitched together a few of the facial parts to make my own personal Frankenstein Monster! 

I started by finding the parts I wished to use, and then I made a print with them. After that I filled the gaps by hand. It is just a small bonus drawing, but I thought it would be fun to do. Enjoy.

Drawing Noses

Hello good people

At long last I finished my nose drawings, and I am pretty happy with (most of) them. These are the last drawings in my practice series - the first post can be found here. It took a while longer than expected, and my laziness is probably to blame. Oh well, what to do. I have begun using a little coal in the drawings, to get some darker shades. I think it creates a way better contrast, and helps the drawing becoming more three-dimensional. Please do take a look:

And the references:

I am going to make a secret sub-project for this project, just to end it off properly. By the way, I ordered some eraser pencils yesterday. I have been looking for something like that since always, and I cannot wait to try them!

Well, that most be all for now
