King's Ransom
Charcoal on Paper
34"x41"
I drew this on a large format scale. I got this idea from Robert Longo work. He does subjects in charcoal, in large format style. Tools used were, General's medium and extra soft charcoal pencils for the main drawing and details. A white pastel pencil for highlights and some lighter areas. Artist Soft Pastel sticks for the darkest darks and the surrounding dark area. Kneaded eraser for mid tone lighter areas. I started off with charcoal toned Strathmoore paper. Time frame, it is difficult to say on hours, since I did not keep up with them. It took about a week overall. Working off and on with it. Thanks!
