Hand drawn portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger (screengrab fanart), using Derwent Medium Graphite Pencils.
Size: A3
Primarily: 6B, 3B, 2H, 4H

I start With the detail areas, in this case the eyes.
I use the 4H mostly as a cross blender and/or burnisher.
I also tested the 2 mm mech pencils from Stageet, but that was not the way to go, since the lead (graphite) is not ground evenly enough for this kind of use. (Nice mechanics though!)

Graphite pencil 2H

I started this portrait with graphite powder, but avoiding the burnish effect by being gentle.
The pencil work adds layers and burnishes at the same time.
Obviously, 2H is relatively hard, hence pale effect that takes time to build in place.
Added regular HB in select areas of the shirt.
The white hair was started with pale graphite powder to start, and then erased in stripes.

Graphite pencil 2H, 2B and HB

The pencil work was done in layers.
Obviously, 2H is relatively hard, hence pale effect that takes time to build in place.
Added regular HB in select areas.
The white hair was started with pale graphite powder to start, and then erased in stripes.
Normally electric eraser could be used, but Pastelmat doesn't respond well to this technique, so regular soft eraser was used.
