#im doing a subtractive charcoal portrait

“O. Sketch” - a brief practice done 1/17/2023 in #2 graphite pencil of someone I’m drawing as a birthday present for a friend, before deciding to use a different reference picture entirely

#don't feel bad posting his face because look at that. that's not a face. he's fine he won't be doxxed. #can you tell i hate graphite anyway? lol #im doing a subtractive charcoal portrait #AS I SHOULD #2023 #my drawing #drawing #graphite #sketch #art #you can't use a mirror selfie w the flash as a charcoal drawing you just can't. #it's for his girlfriend right? so i had our mutual friend ask for her favorite pictures of him #and unfortunately none of them made for good charcoal drawings im sorrrryyyyy it's ok she doesn't know what he asked for #i had to get creative ok #i may or may not post the actual final drawing when it's done but i'm sort of conflicted at the same time... idk #if it goes well then sure why not #i have a lot of decent drawings i still haven't posted tho. hmmm
