My drawings are created by applying several layers of graphite. I approach my paintings the same way as well. Even in the lightest areas of the drawing, there can be at least three layers. All layers are done ysing a textured stroke......
Which results in skin texture which you can see in this closeup.....
It's a very time consuming process and I don't always add texture to my subjects. Sometimes I blend the graphite in or, I will add simple texture in the darker values simply by using a pencil with no blending. The hippo drawing gets a rest today as I am starting a "surprise" portrait for someone. Have a great and creative Tuesday everyone!
