I've been experimenting with graphite on canvas. Here is the resulting picture of the delectable Jensen, with my materials. I used the graphitone pencil first to sketch it out roughly, then smeared if with my finger dipped in water to make nice shadows. Then I used the graphite sketching pencil and the tinted graphite to get more detail and depth. Then I used the hard pastels for coloured highlights and skintone. Pastel doesn't mix that well with graphite, but oh well... Then I used the really dark graphite stick to make the background more dramatic and to emphasise some bits of his face. Then I used the little HB stick of graphite to get sharper lines around his profile and hair.

And here is the finished portrait, corrected for poor lighting and the way my phone washes everything out!

It was a lovely angle, but really tricky. I've kind of captured it. I like the drama. As usual, I should have analysed the structure more. But I just wanted to stick my fingers in the graphite and get messy. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Oh, and the final essential was my playlist of wall-to-wall Led Zeppelin.

This year I realized I have grown significantly, so i decided to record those important moments of each month in little sketches. Really liked this idea, hopefully I'll make something similar but more elaborated next year.

Sweet Teddy from that Wish era poster helping me feel better after a downward start of the day. Done in The Cure’s native medium, an inky black 8b water soluble graphite pencil.

First time using water soluble graphite (Derwent). I liked it using it, but I also don’t like it? I’m not sure, I bought the pencil because it was broken in half and discounted. But this did make me realize how much I love doing black and white art work!
