I drew these for Christmas presents this year. They co-inside with
an upcoming tutorial on sketching trees. The above where started in
graphite on Canson 140lb watercolor paper.
Then I
add the dark and detail with Charcoal.
Here is a leftover from Halloween. This was done on toned Strathmore in charcoal. This started months ago in my sketchbook and I had fun scultping this character. Not someone I would want to meet in the dark.
In this video I display a portfolio that I use to store my loose sheets in. I use it as a sketch book more than it's original design. These portfolio books come in various sizes and can be found on Amazon or in any major arts and crafts stores.
