STEP ONE
Pencil drawing in sketch book.
STEP TWO
Using carbon paper, I transferred the drawing onto cream coloured velour paper, then drew over the outlines with “willow charcoal” followed by a paper stump (lightly dragged over the lines) to set the charcoal and stop it being smudged, then I proceeded to fill in some of the gear, once again with willow charcoal.
STEP THREE
I started from the top, using my finger and a small hog hair brush to soften the lighter areas where necessary.
STEP FOUR
I continued to fill in and blend with fingers, working left to right and top to bottom (as I am right handed).
STEP FIVE
A light application of charcoal was applied to the face and blended with fingers, lightest areas on the face were partially removed with a paper stump as I felt the paper was a little bright, the lights were picked out with a paper stump, e.g. rings and buckles on gear and highlight in the eye.
