This is my fifth charcoal drawing so far. I disliked the medium at first but I'm starting to enjoy it more and more π.
For some reason I opened this picture zoomed in quite a bit, and the shading of the right ear doesn't really differentiate all that much from the rest of the head. If you zoom in into the right half of the face, it looks quite a bit like E.T., and I'm loving it π
Haha, you're right. Its a very funny angle.
That's one badass camel
I dig this, very pleasant style and subject.
You are GOOD
WHAT! How can you draw precisely with charcoal? Do you have a picture of your instruments?
I only saw this picture and the one with the room. Where are the others?
Sure I'll post some other drawings eventally. I use a kneeded eraser, an abrasive eraser, a compressed and soft charcoal and a blending stick.
This makes sense. Iβm learning to draw and only recently discovered these tools and what can be done with them. Itβs almost like sculpture in that your job is to take away (after first drawing the rough image of course).
Nice analogy with "sculpture"
Camels are such majestic creatures... but maybe not from this angle.
Haha I do love the angle. Its so derpy.
This looks like one of those scanning electron microscope images of a fly's ass or something that just happened to turn out to be a camel.
I like him he's hairy
Ty, I worked hard to get all those hairs in there.
Howβd you do the hairs?
