I saw a photo of a chimp with an expressive face and couldn’t resist drawing it in graphite (just messing around). Inspired by Matt’s charcoal course I tried another in charcoal (first time using charcoal). As the course progresses I’m sure my technique will as well.
You’ve really captured the face and eyes. I always think artwork yields good results like this when you have an empathy for your subject. Funny enough I did similar in ink with a gorilla I saw!
Super fun, I love how expressive the face is! I’m impressed at how different the two mediums turn out. I have been drawing in graphite for a little while and would like to try charcoal but am nervous of the mess of it
Well done!
