Hey!
Guess what? This is another one from @kayda-ventures. Watch out for more hints on making hyperrealistic drawings........
Here in this picture, I was making use of a white charcoal pencil to create the hair strands and to bring out the quality of the hair.
# Now let's go to the step by step process of this drawing
# step 1 The first step in the actualization of this drawing is that I made a sketch (outlining) of the shapes and figures of my model (reference). This is achieved with the use of a mechanical pencil which creates faint and accurate marks on the paper. The outlining of the figures is the major part of the drawing. If after the sketch, there is no resemblance of what you are representing on paper with what you have on set, then, so much is wrong with your sketch which means you will have to either start all over for a need job or you make the little changes if it's not much.....
# step 2
Here is where the shading began. I made a production of my own charcoal powder and graphite powder to start the processing. Shading and producing a realistic drawing, I shaded this portrait box by box. To achieve the total resemblance of my reference model, I dedicated so much time to it because as I shade box by box, I make and identify all details. time needs to be taken on the drawing. It needs full concentration and study to get a perfect match of the picture you are producing.
After following the step by step process I just explained, I was able to produce this portrait.
