Two Commissioned pieces. A client wanted two portraits from the same photo to give as gifts. This was a nice project to work on!
8" x 10" and 6" x 8"
Instead of using a blending stump, you can blend graphite with a paintbrush (hog hair is what I use) to preserve some texture.
Before adding my next layer, I smooth out the graphite with a brush. The first layer for me is always separating the darks from the lights.

Why do I focus on portraits?
I focus on portraits because, when looking into the eyes and face of another person, or animal, I feel a sense of connection. I'm not trying to instill life in their image, but rather, bring the life and light that already exists, to the surface.
