Description Listen 7
15"x20", graphite and charcoal on toned illustration board
First Listen piece of 2016 completed! Halfway through the first run at attempting this drawing I started over. I was fighting with the paper and materials - sometimes it's best just to stop. I started fresh and tried out a new surface and used charcoal as the main rendering tool for the first time. I'm so happy with the results plus finding a new working method that suits my needs and taste - little victories are sometimes the best.
The original is available and the print info is below. Drop me a line if you have any questions.Β

πŸ‘ hope to see more Headphones ...like how you put her hair behind her ears, so the Headphones could seat around the ears.

thanks. I tried working on a Β new surface and with some new materials so it was a bit uneasy figuring it out but I'm glad the results turned out well and I think it will be the new process for drawings.

The plan is to work the series long term... I go a day at a time but hopefully at least the next couple of years.

Beautifully drawn. I love the way you created the gradient-like background. I wish I could achieve this level of realistic drawing skills. Amazing job!! Β

benke33 In reply to the-quebs [2016-01-10 18:31:13 +0000 UTC]

thanks. The background is just charcoal manipulated with paper towels and erasers. First time doing it, I'm just happy it turned fairly well.

You are very welcome! The process in which you drew the background is very interesting and it creates a very cool effect. Keep up the great work!!
