This is my latest portrait drawing. I’m still experimenting on maximizing this look. This time I made the background feel lighter unlike my previous drawings which is very dark and heavy. I think I like the lighter version. It feels sketchy yet finished because of the well rendered face. What do you think? C&C are welcome. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
This is not photoshop filter or photoshop brush effect. This is graphite (face) and graphite + vine charcoal (background) on A3 Canson watercolor paper.
I also include my macro shot using Nikon D810 in NEF format. https://drive.google.com/open?id=145YK2nXFP8jA0KFxAXsyiyo99OzcTu0d

It is indeed cold pressed paper. but the texture is not because of the paper texture, it’s because I manually draw little dots so it looks like a pencil particles. It was done after I sketch initially using vine charcoal stick though.
This isn’t the same drawing, it’s my self portrait but the process is the same. I’m currently working on my youtube channel.
tuscanny Thank you Christel!
