This is the completed drawing of the Rhino. I have titled it 'Heavyweight'. The background is merely suggested as I didn't want it to compete with the animal, yet still wanted to convey the dust and heat of Africa.

Brilliant Bev, I love it.
ReplyDeletefantastic portrait Bev, looks as though you've done those pencils justice. Did you just use them dry or did you actually 'paint' with them at all?
ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline, I am pleased with it too, I will definitely use these pencils again, they are a big improvement on Derwent's old ones.
ReplyDeletePencilportraits,thank you. Firstly I used them dry, very lightly, then went over this colour with a damp brush to blend it all and form a coloured base layer to work on, then once that was dry, I worked over the lot with dry pencil. Lots of layers and all well covered with dry pencil.
Great drawing Bev ... I really like the limited palette
ReplyDeleteWonderful rhino - the colors are beautiful
