Portrait of Dina

Dina is a friend of mine, an exchange student from Germany. A very cool, stylish and confident person with an attitude. Dressing in black and using a lot of hair wax are her trademarks.

Into The Twenty First Century!
Isabel,
This is a very accomplished, wonderful, direct depiction of a dramatic 21st century Woman. No lace, soft focus, florals. Prickly waxed hair and a direct no nonsense look. I love it! Bravo! |
Isabel,
This is very powerful! I am enjoying studying your exquisite style, very striking and bold. Can you share with us some of your tools and techniques, what kind of paper, and pencils/charcoal were used? Any stumping? It almost looks like you used a paintbrush for some of the nuances of skin?? Very accomplished piece, Pat |
Thank you Patricia and Sharon for the kind words.
Patricia, I used mechanical pencils with 2H and 2B leads for the whole drawing. The paper is Arches Hot Press 300 gsm. As for the smooth blending, I used blending stumps. I painted the background using 2B mechanical pemcil, blended with tissue and blending stump, then used a kneaded eraser to remove some of the graphite. |
Isabel, beautiful drawing, everything about it. Incredible handling of graphite. Waiting for more!

Isabel, this really is a marvelous drawing. You have such command of this medium! I hope you will stick around the Forum and give comments, insight and guidance.

Isabel, this is such a strong drawing, she's "in your face" and beautifully rendered.

Isabel,
Terrific portrait! You have handled the shadows with a beautiful transparent touch, and have a clean, strong composition as well. |
