Description

Hello everyone! :wave:

I finally came back to realistic graphite drawing after maaany years! And I feel so good! :iconproudplz:
Well, for those who don't know who this guy is, he's called Daren Jay Ashba aka DJ Ashba, guitarist of "Guns n' Roses" and "Sixx am". I liked the reference photo mainly because of its composition of lights and shadows.
I must admit I hate drawing backgrounds and clothing but this time I loved making his shirt :D you can take a look at it in detail here argentinian-queen.deviantart.c… . You can also see details of his eyes and hair here argentinian-queen.deviantart.c… .
I'd like to improve my skills, my main goal is to achieve photographic realism and this was not the case, this was a crappy cheap paper and didn't helped at all...and also, it was very small, so next time I'll use an A3 paper to add as many details as I can.
Materials I've used:
:bulletred: 22cm x 32 cm 125 g/m2 paper
:bulletred: H, B, 3B and 6B graphite pencils
:bulletred: "Staedtler" Mars rasor eraser pencil
:bulletred: Kneadable eraser, regular eraser, cotton swab and tissue
:bulletred: Reference photo by Klint Kaisner 31.media.tumblr.com/3171086bea…

As usual, I hope you like it! :aww:

Hola a todos! :wave:

Por fin volví al dibujo realista en grafito, y me siento tan bien! :iconproudplz:
Bueno, para aquellos que no conocen quién es, se trata de Daren Jay Ashba mas conocido como DJ Ashba, guitarrista de Guns n' Roses y Sixx am. Me gustó la foto de referencia principalmente por su composición de luces y sombras.
Debo admitir que odio dibujar fondos y ropa pero esta vez me encantó dibujar su camisa :D pueden verla en detalle acá argentinian-queen.deviantart.c… . Pueden también ver sus ojos y pelo en detalle acá argentinian-queen.deviantart.c… .
Me gustaría mejorar mi técnica, mi meta principal es lograr realismo fotográfico y este no fue el caso, el papel que use era una porquería y no ayudó para nada...y también, era chico, asi que la próxima vez voy a usar un papel tamaño A3 como mínimo para agregar tantos detalles como pueda.
Materiales:
:bulletred: Hoja Canson tamaño 22cm x 32 cm de 125 g/m2
:bulletred: Lápices de grafito H, B, 3B and 6B
:bulletred: Lápiz goma "Staedtler" Mars rasor
:bulletred: Goma comun, goma amasable, cotonetes y papel tissue
:bulletred: Foto de referencia tomada por Klint Kaisner 31.media.tumblr.com/3171086bea…

Como siempre, espero que les guste! :aww:

Well, it's enough realistic for me :) Truly great composition, the pose, face expression and lights, shadows :) Intimate and warm climate. I love how You made his hair (even though the hairstyle is not my favourite...;) ), it's masterpiece :)
