A
Portrait of Guy Detail Pencil and wash on card As I've mentioned before, it's not often I've drawn men so drawing Guy was a great opportunity to bring in all the techniques I'd learned. This picture has a watercolour wash and cross-hatching was used to great effect to get the texture of the skin just right. Working on card gives me a great base to work on. When I'm using watercolour, sharp pencils and cross-hatching I'm likely to rip normal paper to shreads. The surface of the card takes on it's own texture by the time the drawing is done. One thing the photos can't show fully is the play of light across the surface of the drawing. It can be crucial for the final effect.
