DRACUPIRE PENCIL DRAWING Step-By-Step

My guitar project from the last posts is on hold until my hardware arrives in the mail, so in the meantime I'm doodling.

This is how I do most of my colored paper pencil drawings. The only thing that changes is the black. Sometimes I use ink, and sometimes pencil. This particular drawing has both black pencil and ink, in addition to white pencil.

At 1st I very lightly roughed in an ellipse with a nose on it (with a normal erasable No.2 pencil) to show me how much room I needed for the head. Then I inked in this drawing with a BLACK Sakura SumiBrush pen. When I finished inking I erased my rough-penciled ellipse.

After the inks were completed I used a BLACK Prismacolor pencil to shade the drawing. The Prismacolor pencils have something in them to make them permanent. Any erasing will be met will either minimal or no success. It's best to start light and work it darker as needed. Try to avoid needing an eraser.

Now I add my highlights with a Prismacolor WHITE pencil. This is the easiest step, and most rewarding. It's what I look forward to each time I make a drawing like this. Less Is Better. It's tempting to go crazy with the white, but you don't need to. Most of your work is already done with the blacks. The white is just for the tops of things. His tooth and eyes got a little extra just because they are supposed to be white.

Bear in mind these drawings only work on colored paper. Any color is fine. Old paper grocery bags are great if you don't want to go out and buy paper. A nice thing about doing drawings like this is it doesn't require a ton of supplies or setup time. All you need are 2 pencils and some paper. Maybe an ink pen if you desire.
