Self portrait

 

I took a selfie. Made it black and white tonal using editor. And drew a portrait of myself. 

Normal A4 white sheet.

6B pencil.

Wavy line and smudging.

I plan to draw portraits and camera drawings this way. Wavy lines and accurate smudging for tonal correctness and equivalence. Remember I am self-guruing. 

My aim is to get above average rendering. About 70%. 

Let me work this way and see.

Bye for now.

Post-script - If wavy line and smudging work to get hyper-realistic result, then there is nothing quite like it. Reasons being. One it can be taught to kids. Wavy lines gradually can be guided to accuracy. Not possible in straight lines. Second is one has to follow only one technique for both drawing and shading. And the technique of wavy lines. Of course controlled shading is not possible. 

I must admit that I do shading practices. Here is a screenshot.

White paper.

4B pencil.

HB pencil.

My drawing ability is not high.  Otherwise the results would have been great like that of Sadashiv Sawant or Ankit Jasmatiya or Sourav Joshi or others.

There are two laws I want to make public. One is learnt from youtube. And one is mine.

1. Light and shades follow law of cosines. (Youtube)

2. In pencil drawing tonal adjustments follow law of squares.(my statement. Is it correct, sir?)

"I am indeed Sarkari Hamla, of the erstwhile Hamla enterprises. I started Hamla enterprises from scratch and made it a large organisation. But after that it became so competitive globally that I decided to start begging myself and on my own !!

This is my final post on faces.

I shall not be posting any more blog posts after this on faces.

This is a complete drawing from my side. On white sheet. 6B and 2B used. Two shadings.

I shall be working on drawings. But shall not be posting. I need to improve a lot. More 3d, more individual face parts and more blending and more of techniques I shall be practising on.

I have a sense of responsibility. And this final post is the completion of my responsibility.

My favourite artists from India are

S Elayaraja. Milind Mullick.
