Just gonna say this up front but my rushed picture I took of this does not do it justice but that being said it isn't perfect so lets get into the analysis! So the first thing I was work on the hills by sketching out the basic outline with a regular graphite pencil. Next I worked on the basic shape of the person with the same tools in order to see the placement and plan ahead for the tears on the cloak ( in my mind it is one of the weaker parts of this piece ). Next I actually used a new Tool I bought which were soft Pastels and blending sticks and used said tools for the hills in the foreground. This was done by first using the pastels in the general area that they were needed and then using the blending stick to spread the pastels mark more evenly. This was a similar process with the person in the cloak but done with charcoal with I found out the hard way that if you are not careful even with hard blending it still gives you stripes which can be seen here. It also is worth noting that it was near this step is when I began to work on the torn cloth. One could use this as a simple complete piece but like I've said it has seemed incomplete so you can lightly see what is the outline I have started for a mountain range in the background and I am planning to add a city in the middle. That is all I have for today's HP and I hope that you enjoyed it. Till next post I'll see ya'll later!
