Pastelmat papir kommer til sin rette her.
Original bildet manglet en del detaljer, som kunne allikevel bearbeides for å gi en "omtrentlig" korrekt inntrykk.

Tja, litt testing er greit også.
Startet med farget papir, som i dette tilfelle var kanskje feil.
Å bruke pastell farger startet med gode intensjoner og tanken om hvor dette vil bli fordelaktig. Problemet som dere ser er at jeg var ofte i tanken om bare gi opp, fordi jeg sleit med papir fargen i forhold til motivet.
Hadde jeg startet med hvit papir, så hadde dette fungert mye bedre.

Men, tenkte det er greit for dere å se at ting er ikke alltid vellykket.

Portrait of Alf Vidar Kihlstrøm
Size A3
Graphite pencil 2H

I started this portrait with graphite powder, but avoiding the burnish effect by being gentle.
The pencil work adds layers and burnishes at the same time.
Obviously, 2H is relatively hard, hence pale effect that takes time to build in place.
Added regular HB in select areas of the shirt.
The white hair was started with pale graphite powder to start, and then erased in stripes.

Caran D'Ache blyant på ClaireFontain papir.

Grunnlaget ble startet med grafitt pudder som danner veien for øvrige blyant lag.
Caran D'Ache blyanter er utrolig artig å jobbe med, men blender seg litt annerledes enn andre merker.

Graphite pencil 2H, 2B and HB

The pencil work was done in layers.
Obviously, 2H is relatively hard, hence pale effect that takes time to build in place.
Added regular HB in select areas.
The white hair was started with pale graphite powder to start, and then erased in stripes.
Normally electric eraser could be used, but Pastelmat doesn't respond well to this technique, so regular soft eraser was used.

I start With the detail areas, in this case the eyes.
I use the 4H mostly as a cross blender and/or burnisher.
I also tested the 2 mm mech pencils from Stageet, but that was not the way to go, since the lead (graphite) is not ground evenly enough for this kind of use. (Nice mechanics though!)

Justert litt fra reference grunnlag for å gjøre subjektet litt mindre hvit.

Tegnet noen epler med Caran D'Ache blyanter.
Lenge siden jeg har tegnet stillben saker.

Sidenotat: Caran D'Ache blyanter er fantastisk i bruk. Silke myk påførsel osv. Problemet som jeg har nevnt andre steder er at de er uvanlig sensitiv! Dette er fordi de er laget med Cedar Wood.
DVS de har lett for å knuse under spissing. Ja, jeg har riktig spisser osv, også en krankshaft spisser, men allikevel måte jeg gi opp en av fargene.
Løsningen her var faktisk et par blyanter fra noe Temu greier, som faktisk leverte langt bedre kvalitet enn forventet.

Selv om tegningen her er svart/hvit, er den egentlig en farge tegning, bare at fargene brukt er gråtonet.
