Kalgoras
Graphite Gunz
Finished my first attempt at the male physique after doing my first female one in my Battle Sister Eden picture! ([link] ). Have to even up the gender odds!
Next time I'm going to choose one WITHOUT a tattoo!!
Reference below is the awesome ~SteinZupancic by *DiamonEyes so go check out his amazing gallery!
'Gunz Loaded':
Actual Size photo:
This is done on A4 Bristol Smooth (8”x12” but had a tiny 5mm border around the edge for me to hold...now cropped out ) using 2H – 8B Graphite pencils and a lot of time and swearing (bloody tattoooooo!!!).
I could darken the background a bit more and just constantly keep fiddling with it...but it's time to post!
Fullview is a LOT bigger than real life size (see above), so you can see all the technical flaws heh! *Updated image as I saw some blotches *
Hmm really need to improve my tonal values! Not made some of the dark areas dark enough....something for next drawing! I am pleased with how his hands turned out though!!
Hope you like it, I think it's one of the best I've done from a technical point, but tons to learn still! Comments and criticism welcome!
