Statements
- I don't care about all those stupid comments from people who even don't know what a pencil is and what is possible to achieve with it.
- I will not ask for apologies for something I have not done.
- I will not answer any other (false) accusation or (nonsense) comment about my pencil works.
- I use grid. That has nothing to do with talent or age. The greatest painting masters have used it, which doesn't mean their beautiful works are talentless.
- I use pics as reference.
- I want to forget what has happened. It makes me sad to see there's so many people full of hate and envy in the world.
- I use DIN-
A3 and A4, not DIN-A2 as some "users" have said. Read before answering/accusing/defaming, pleeeease.
- As I have not an A3 scanner, I scan half drawing and then the other half, and then arrange it in PS.
- I have a method to make the dark areas so black. Want to know it? I've already answer this question to some people. I will not answer it again.
- If you want to know more about my drawing technique, please, email me, because I will not post any more tip here in DA --cause it's not appreciated.
- If you still think that my drawings are fakes, or manips of photos -whatever-, stop looking at them, cause I won't stop drawing.
- I think that getting me banned just when I'm submiting my WIP sketches to show these people are wrong is unfair. And looks so an unprejudiced decision to me...
- If you like my work, and love photoquality pencil drawings, you should go and see the work of J. D. Hillberry
[link] His drawings are simply perfect. He's my Pencil Muse
He's able to reproduce any texture of this world (metal, wood, glass, leather, clothing, fur...)
- I want to thank all the people who have shown me their support and respect, through comments, notes and emails along these days. If I have decided not to leave DA is for you all
Some info about my drawings
I'm 26, but I have been drawing on a piece of paper since I was 3 years old. I 've not attend to any special art school, but I have studied anatomy and drawing techniques all by myself, very hard.
+How do I create these portraits? I use Conté Drawing Pencils for the big dark areas, Faber Castell pencils 6H, 3H, 2H, HB for the skin, and 4B, 3B for the shadows and dark zones. In addition to these pencils, I use a Pilot The Shaker 0.5 for the little details. To capture the smoothness of skin, I blend the pencil with Kleenex, or a piece of cloth. Also, I sometimes use gray pastel pencils, which I blend into the pencil work, to make some of the grays even grayer and softer.
+How do I capture such a strong likeness? I think this is because I have a gift, and I know how to use it ---I have learnt to use it. I have experimented with many different techniques regarding this. I have settled on one that I have found gives me the most exact likeness with the least amount of difficulty. Personally, I find people's faces to be the most difficult thing to draw because of all the little variations in the face that the artist must see and capture in order to ensure a strong or exact likeness to the subject. To capture a likeness, I first make an enlarged photocopy of the photograph I am using to create the portrait. I make this photocopy the size I will use in the portrait. Once the enlarged photocopy is made, I then began a rough sketch with the essential lines of the face (eyes, nose, mouth, head, hair, neck) with a 3H pencil. I usually use the help of a squared pattern or grid. I then begin the long process of fleshing out the drawing, attempting to match each tone and each texture as accurately as possible. All of this I do freehand
--no PC.
+What kind of paper do I use? Usually CANSON C ŕ grain 180 g/m
2 and GVARRO Basik 225 g/m
2.
