Artist's Comments

This is my third drawing of Kurt. I lost the first one I did. He has one of those faces that I like to draw. I used three different reference photos to draw this. And I decided to use a little artistic licence and give him wings and tears. I used Strathmore 400 series Bristol paper and a 2B mechanical pencil.

Thanks for looking,
Bonnie

You did the entire drawing using just the 2B pencil?

Yes, all my graphite drawings are done with a 2B mechanical pencil. I find it easier to get the dark and light contrast I want with a 2B lead. I can get darks that are as dark as charcoals with 2B leads. I use the mechanical pencil because its easier to get finer details with it, but coloring in large blocks of black with the mechanical pencil can be time consuming!
