Sandi (Again)

Ta, Soxy. I don’t usually do the touch of colour thing, feels a bit too ‘Schindler’s List’ for my liking, but she really was sitting on a bright red chair with pale skin and black clothes, so it works well enough.

Oh, hey thanks, Mick. Your portrait of Andrew is one of my absolute favourites on here. If you’re interested, I’ve got a journal entry on the subject and it’s making for some interesting debate!

Truly messy business, but with the right paper and charcoal, you can avoid the blackboard sensation! Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers, Varry.

Bad paper, not much time = good drawing. Too often, it’s the truth!

Thanks Lisa. I think I used the sharp edge of some compressed charcoal for the whispy hair. I also used water on the charcoal to get quick tones and blacker blacks…
