That's fantastic 👏 wasn't a huge fan of the game personally. But your talent is undeniable!

WOOOW that's so impressive.

Charcoal... Just a question: How do you do the reflection in the eyes? Do you leave it out with charcoal and use the white paper or do you actually apply some white color?

You need to hold your artwork up along with your face to make it better

Never seen anyone draw top to bottom. Is this common for charcoal or just how you like to do it? Looks spectacular, btw.

Sure is a good thing you told us it's a work in progress, otherwise I would have thought you were done already. /s

It amazes me that you draw this like a printer, i.e. each 'row' is complete going down - whereas I, a non-artist would draw the entire outline and add layer each shade to the whole thing. Why is your way better?

Looks awesome. What are you using to blend the charcoal? Finger? Blending sticks? Paper towel? Etc.?

What ever you use, or combination of, is great. So many different looking texture changes, like the forehead and then the stripe on his head difference, is bringing Kratos to life.

Any experienced artist would tell you not to do what they are doing though. It's less expressive and it's not creative. Yes they are doing it like a printer going downwards line by line (that's just a gimmick btw). I dunno. I just see stuff like this and I think, what's the point? Why not literally print out a picture since it's not showing any of the creators artistry either way. They've traced the outline of Kratos and now they are filling it in.

Lady, you're such a tease.

Edit: talking about the unfinished drawing you gross bastards, leave it to reddit i guess.

Is it harder drawing it this way than doing an outline of the whole thing first? It seems like it would be to my untrained eye. Might impressive Edit; I just realised there is an outline albeit a very faint one! 😅

You need to do a timelapse where it looks like you are doing cartoon style drawing where you move you hand once over a line and have all the details just show up.

did you trace it and just do the shading or did you do it all by yourself?

Don't you just use a stick of some sort to rest your hand on? I have never seen anyone draw like this, in fact, I don't understand how you could get the layout correct.

If you zoom in you can see light sketches of the beard and jawline. So, seemingly they did a full rough sketch and then went back to do the real work from top to bottom.

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I start with the initial sketch and work my way down section by section. It’s just a personal preference. I also like to work in this way as it helps prevent smudging.

Thank you! I use a brush to blend and my finger for darker areas too. I’m glad you noticed the details and texture changes. I also appreciate you looking through my other artwork. Your kind words are greatly appreciated. 😊🙏

Drawing a grid over your reference image, then making a grid on your paper with an equal ratio. By breaking down your subject into a series of tiny squares, the grid method allows you to produce an accurate outline of your subject.
