How to draw portrait with charcoal. Portrait study turn into quick illustration. I was doing some portrait study and do step by step for the blog because I had no idea what to do at the moment. Yes, lack of inspiration happens from time to time especially when you leave you pencil and pen for a while. So I was sketching until it almost complete then I looked at it and I was like...um I could actually turn it into something else.
So first idea I had was I could put really dark over coat on her and then...a knife in her hand. I can make her an assassin! But then I thought I always do that let's change the course a bit this time. Something I don't usually do.
Then I had an idea of a garden surrounded her present and... while I was painting a camouflage or silhouette of tree branches and bushes I got an idea. Snake came to my mind. Then I totally get in the feeling of the piece. Eden, snake, apple and eventually the word "seduction" in the conclusion.
Anyway, here are the step by step for the work in process and the final piece I have so far. Still have to paint for a few more sessions.

Thanks bro.
my weekest part of drawing is establishing body figure, i allways fails at that, and im wondering ur recommendation of anatomy study books for drawing:D
thanks in advance.
For environments, I really like the old master William Turner, I think he really expresses emotion with his strong colors, so study them.
To study a painting, try this small exercise. Find a painting you really like and ask yourself "why does this painting look so appealing?", and try to figure answers... like the colors used, the shapes, the brush work and most of all- OBSERVE.
Hope this helps.
Peace.
I love this picture, it looks alot like a lithograph. I think this picture works perfectly well as it is, it's got alot of energy.
(Anon: You can get some of Xia's brushes in his tutorials.)

Anonymous> Thanks, it just practice and learning from others really...you can also make it painterly by just using default round brushes...depending on how you mark and leave your brush work. Good luck.
