Charcoal Portrait Sketch on Dark Paper

This is a portrait drawing from start to finish on dark gray paper using willow charcoal and white charcoal pencil. I hope you enjoy it! This sketch took about 20 minutes in real time. If you have any questions, just leave them in the comments and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for watching!

Always fascinated by this form of drawing, how only black and white can capture so much details...

This was amazing to watch. I've always wanted to be able to draw! I tend towards writing more but have always wanted to visually depict imaginings. Are sketches like these based on someone in real life? Or do you come up with this face? Either way, I'm very impressed.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks so much! Most of these are done using real people, some from life and some from photo references.

Jeff… I am very impressed by your work, especially with your block-ins. Do you use some sort of simplified Reilly rhythms? Or is your head construction based on another method, or your own original construct? Thanks so much for sharing your art approach with us through your videos. However, I ought to spend less time on watching RUclips videos and start practicing “starts” as you suggested in another video.

[@JeffHainesArt]

Thanks! Glad you like it. My construction method is kind of a little of everything. I think about Reilly rhythms and Asaro planes a lot when I'm drawing, so that's probably the basis.
