Artist's Comments

I decided to upload a step by step process of my portrait of David Tennant.

I wasn't really sure what category I should submit this under... so I went with Traditional Tutorials. Now, I wouldn't necessarily call this deviation a "tutorial" (as it lacks any explanation or tips, etc)... However, I do believe a lot can be gathered from how I approach a piece from this deviation. Thus, my choice of submission.

If you're looking for a true pencil portrait tutorial from me, follow this link here: [link]


The specs for this portrait (such as materials used) can be found on the finished piece's page: [link]

that's really great, thanks for the step by step drawings, it really helps to see which parts of the drawing you did first etc. just one question: did you use a rubber to rub out some of the lead for the stripes on his coat? because i can see that on the picture before the last he has a fully black coat and the finished one he has the stripes.... just wondering. :)

good question.
i had never worked with pinstripes before and i was extraordinarily nervous about them! so, i avoided them and shaded the jacket to my liking first. i then went back with a mechanical pencil's eraser (to ensure thinner lines) and took out some of the pencil.
however! i HATED how messy it looked and ended up filling in all of the eraser pinstripes again. to get the finalized version, i erased a little bit but shaded the jacket a bit darker to create more concrete, defined stripes. after blending all of it (with m finger tip for the most part), it turned out looking a lot cleaner and more finished (in my opinion anyways).

and that's THAT story! ;)

ahh right, i got you know. ;)
sounds like a very long process but i guess it only seems that way and was much easier to think about when you were actually doing it. clever though! some great ideas you have there. :)

burn me at a stake, but i like the non-finished third picture best!
yes, there are no pin-stripes, but the folds of the jacket are so much more interesting.
i also think the light background brings out much more of the graphic richness.
