The model here is my little boy "Josh".
You be the judge on the emotions here, I don't want to give anything away.......
This piece was achieved by first of all, ghosting and handling the charcoal dust as a watercolour, then blending it together with my fingers to give uniform tones. A medium oil base pencil was then used to put in basic lines, details and sensitive strokes. Then I employed a hard graphite pencil to temper the remaining parts.
What a beautiful drawing! I love the composition. Your Josh must be so famous for being too cute! Is this emotion "curiosity"?
ReplyDeleteThanks Akiko! You sre the judge this time.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece, I like that you did not give it an emotions title because it could be a number of things depending on who looks at it. wonderful
ReplyDeleteThanks Dominique, you're right!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog!! I love your sketches and the drawings of Josh! He is adorable! Thank you for sharing your art and your son:)
ReplyDeleteCheers and Thanks Pegi! I am happy you enjoy it too! Thanks for letting me know-it goes a long way in encouraging me, much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork, Adebanji. My first guess as to the emotion would be "curiosity." But, I am wrong too often:)
ReplyDeleteThanks EPTAS! You be the judge, you are the second curiosity feeler!
ReplyDeleteJosh seems to be saying 'the sun is out now, can we go out to play'. This is a lovely senstiive drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolann! You've given it an interesting interpretation!
