~Lost and Forgotten~
Springtrap has always been my favorite character, and the fixation on him that I had back in 2015 slowly returns
Funny how it was almost 10 years a go but it never truly faded

okay, i LOVE your pencil sketches and want to know how you get such wonderful line depth and variation
Ah! Thank you so much! 🥺 I'm glad you brought this up cause I was looking at one of my first sketches uploaded to this blog (from freaking 9 years ago) and the line style is still the same. I've got the process down, baby.
I want you to know, I use only one (1) pencil when I do sketches. I don't do that 2B 2H 4K 60FPS 💯 stuff, that's too many pencils to lug around and I never understood the difference between them. So, I usually just carry a 0.5 mechanical pencil in my pocket.
But what you have to do is start light. Super light, I got in trouble in school for writing and drawing so light, but you gotta build up on it. (I just started writing in pen instead because sheesh) You gotta know exactly where you want things before you get darker, and the darker it is, the harder it will be to erase.
I made an example for this, so consider yourself blessed hehe
Very light, planning placement, go over or darken the areas you for sure want to be there. Like those uhh thumbnail sketches.
When I'm drawing poses/background's/props I'm not sure of, I leave a light, blocked off area for a vague idea of what I want going on and I'll look up a ref to fix it up later. But all placement first. So when I'm sure this is where I want the props or poses, I scribble scribble until I envision fully what will be there and start erasing until I get the shape I crave.
What I do next is I draw over and over the one area I want and erase the lighter parts I don't need, so it's not so scribbly and cluttery.
And then more emphasis on detailed or foreground stuff, and then light scribbles in other areas for texture or feigning a background. Adding more "details" makes it look cooler or it makes you look cooler. You want them to focus on certain parts and not on the scribbly fake details. It's all about the full picture not the spindly grass in the background. Shhh.
It's all building up, narrowing down, and then emphasis.
Another example, here's sketch #2 compared to the final.
I also use a phone adjustment to darken my lines. I take that "black point" to just darken my lines myself and take the "contrast" to further separate the paper from my pencil. (Or I just had better lighting, I don't remember what I did with this one 🤔)
Thank you for asking! I like sharing my processes, but I just think it would be too much spam on here to include the progress shots with my "finished" stuff.
