Description
Final version of "Leaping Through". Graphite, charcoal on illustration board. Not dissatisfied with the results, as I am happy to be back drawing this way after such a long break. But I know I want to find a smoother, hot press board to work on so I can do more blending tricks.But this was a good one to work out the kinks in my technique and remember what it is I can do with these materials.
About 14-16 hours total time.

Thank you so much. I think all my work digitally over the past several years has made me miss all the skills I had developed. No "undo" button, no headaches, no internet to distract. Just pure and simple drawing; the feel of the paper as it resists the edge of the graphite, using my fingers or a blending stick to achieve a smooth gradient that has natural variation. It was truly cathartic for me.
I really have missed it and I hope the next one will be even better. I plan on trying to do a new one once every couple of months, depending on my schedule. I hope you keep checking them out!

yeah! the feel of the paper is something unreachable for the technology, even now a lot of people "copy and paste" pieces of picture to obtain colors and references a lot of works are practically photomanipulation, the traditional art is great for it´s unpredictable and most of the times incorregible nature, i´m not the kind of retrograd i just miss those days... and of course dude, i´ll be checking your gallerie, i´m watching you hehehe again, amazing work
