W.I.P.

I'm such a slacker. School is going to start and i didn't finish my series like i had hoped, go figure. I'm almost done with this first one, but here are some pictures of the drawing and my process. The way i draw is kinda weird, i've never really seen anyone draw the way i do so i'll try to explain. once i have my initial pencil outline, i start with the charcoal. i work in layers. I like to block everything in with a middle gray tone, and then from there i add another layer with the darker areas , and then i erase for the highlights. after that i give it a spray of fixative and go over the darks, and i basically just repeat that for however much it needs. I don't work from left to right or start with one area, i'm kinda just all over the place. It basically looks like shit until i add the final layer and it starts to come together towards the end. I think i'll post the finished scan when i have all 3 done, which hopefully is sooner than later.
