REVERSE PORTRAIT

Image selection

process

I first toned down the sheet by pressing tissue paper against the charcoal, then I used charcoal sticks and pencils to clarify the drawing after outlining it with a pencil eraser and charcoal sticks.

To prevent the charcoal on the sheet from spreading when it was touched, I applied a sealer spray.

My next step was to make markings with a white pencil to further emphasize the details and highlights after applying the sealer.

I gained a basic understanding of working with charcoal with this project. I discover how crucial making a grid before beginning the artwork is. By breaking down your image into a bunch of tiny squares, the grid method of sketching enables you to create an accurate line drawing and is frequently simpler than attempting to sketch the entire drawing at once.
