Fantastic piece. Never tried graphite on canvas before. Where did you get your reference image and are there similar close ups (book?)? I'd love to see the sculpture in details.

Very interestinf effect, graphite on canvas. I've never tried that before. What sort of challenges come with that, I wonder? Looks great!

Many! as oil, graphite on canvas is very versatile, I expect to see something of yours, I love your work.

Thanks! Is it a certain type of canvas? Gesso? It just seems so smooth!

Good to know. Is it that different from drawing on, say watercolor paper, beause that's what I typically go for, since I layer and layer and layer?

watercolor is more difficult, you have to be very fast in oil on canvas you can stop working one day and continue with the graphite can leave many days, and redraw, and only using 2 pencils, I love working this
