some of the stages in creating a
b & w portrait drawing by hand using art pencils on textured paper
completed
artist drawing
roughly the method used to create a b&w pencil portrait drawing
I lightly sketch in the face using my artist pencil and try and get an accurate placement of the features
once that is complete then I can then shade the portrait and add more detail, lastly I burnish the drawing which evens out the pencil marks on the paper .and gives the portrait a smoother finished look .

pastel drawing
roughly the method I use to create a pastel portrait drawing
I lightly sketch in the face details on my pastel paper then with my pallette of flesh colours of pastel chalk sticks
I roughly shade in all the main areas then I go over the drawing again refining the areas and blending the dry colours as I go adding more and more detail taking care with eyes nose mouth etc.
until I get the finished result.

oil painting
roughly the method I use to create a portrait painting
I create a line drawing and paint over the line with a dark colour
I then roughly add a colour wash of my pallette of flesh colours in light medium and darkareas as appropriate
I go over this with heavier colour refining the areas as I go blending colours and putting more detail around eyes nose mouth etc
each area is more refined in turn adding more meticulous detail using smaller brushes until I get a finished result
