I saw a video about how people think they can’t draw and how people actually can draw, so I decided to follow along with it. I drew this cool Albert Einstein cartoon but instead following it exactly I added my own little twist.
This is only the second time I've done pixel art. (both times were today) This is based on my own hand, which has rather stubby fingers, but I added some lighter touches that make it more feminine than my own. (I rather like my black nails, thank you very much)

Been under the weather the past day or so and stumbled across the new Halo series. Thought I’d break out a little piece I did a couple years back in honor of this series.
9 x 12 graphite pencil on Bristol Smooth paper.
For the background, I managed to get a nice deep black by using 9B graphite powder which I made myself by sanding down a 9B Faber Castell Graphite stick. I then mixed the graphite with linseed oil to make a paste which I applied to the paper using cotton. For the smoke, I used a kneaded eraser to lift off the graphite making shapes and direction of the smoke. I then use a mono zero eraser to add detail and more highlights in the smoke, because I use a light pressure and build up my tones by layering my graphite, I don’t damage the tooth of the paper and am able to easily lift the graphite.
