Rendering Part 1
Reference Photo
Blocking In
I start with blocking in the major areas of shadow using an HB.
Softening
I crosshatch to darken a little and soften the shading using a tortillon.
Further Blocking
I’m staying on the area of the face. As of now, no major blending yet, but I try to distinguish the values more. I further darken the shadow areas, and now I develop areas of midtone and halftone. The halftone areas, I switch to an H pencil.
