The artwork thread

Thanks guys...

Gollum,
I have bought 6H, 4H, 2H, B, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B and 10B and a charcoal pencil (B) and a white pencil. In fact this is what I could find in my place that too after a long search. Totally forgot that .5mm pencil.

No body knows what is kneaded eraser, blending stump, tortillon in the stationery shop. Where can I get these? I have even checked online...
What is pastel? Is this erasable?

Now I am working on a portrait. Even though I have dark/light pencils, I couldn't get the same dark/soft shades/tones. And now I am using drawing paper, but I don't see much difference between notebook paper and this drawing paper other than the later is little thicker.

I am almost done with the portrait I am working on. I will post it tomorrow after giving some final touch.

I really loved work here, specially Gollum and specially the fact that you allowed your creative work to nurture, I remember I used to draw when I was so young then priorities changed and now I am more into development than designing, I still have my sketchbook somewhere, I will try to restore them and post here someday.

you can get art supplies from flipkart now
they have kneaded erasers
If you can;t buy blending stumps them make them, just roll paper up and cut the tip diagonally with a scissor, I also don't have them but I made them myself and I made many for different sizes.

you can buy sketch books of A4 size from Navneet or Built
papger thickness should be more than 100GSM and you should draw from the rough side of the paper to get the maximum darkness.

Stunning work there Gollum! Thnks for posting the work in progress stills

@Gollum: I am impressed

Well, I too was once drawing nice. But, took a long break - really long that I need few more days to bring my drawing hands back

Gollum,
Wow!!! 36hrs... That sure needs one helluva patience... I really wonder how you guys bring that realistic hair. Dark/light shades and light falling on the hair (that glossy look), nothing I could bring.

Here is the one I was talking about.

For realistic hair, you should not do any shading on the hair
Use only a 0.5 or 0.3mm mechanical pencil
you need to draw from the tip of the hair
for dark sides start with 2b which merge into a ligher shade of 2b and then into a regular shade of HB and then a lighter shade of HB and then the shade has to go back to the dark with the same steps
so its like Darkest>dark>less dark>light>lighter>lightest>lighter>light>less dark>dark>darkest
