Self Portrait.
A few days ago I was talking with other people who practice drawing, they asked me if I had made a self-portrait? I answered no! The truth had not given much importance.
They talked to me about how difficult it is to do it, because it is about your own image and you are tempted to eliminate those imperfections with which you were born, but there is a problem! In many cases these small imperfections are what define your image, your appearance and however small or insignificant they are when you eliminate them, you can make the self-portrait not look like you.
It was really difficult to draw because I am not anything photogenic, I was also tempted to remove those little details, but I recognized that it is a mistake, not a drawing error, I would rather say an error with my ego jajajaja.
Let's go step by step in drawing this drawing! While I'm drawing, I digitize the process with a scanner.
The materials to use:
- Paper letter opaline.
- Pencils 2H, HB, B, 2B, 3B, 8B.
- Charcoal.
- Diffuser.
- Make the sketch and start with the lenses and eyes, by wearing glasses do not concentrate on making the details in the eyes, but reflect the light in the crystals.
- Then we do the nose and the eyebrows.
- Then we make the mouth and the mustache.
- Then we made the beard, cheeks and neck. Shading technique with diffuser.
- Then we do the hair and we shadow the forehead.
- Then we make the shirt and the folds so that the drawing does not look flat, we also make the arms.
- In this gif we can observe step by step.
I hope you like my drawing, I am still in the process of training in this area of my life that I love so much, and those who have more knowledge in the drawing I read your suggestions.
