Another Lock down creation.
“Nutts” A drawing that was created using Charcoal & Graphite, taking around 25 hours to finish.
It highlights the talent and creativity that blossomed during the lockdown of 2020. This artwork serves me a powerful reminder of how art can inspire joy and hope in difficult times.
I was captivated by the striking contrast I achieved between the charcoal and graphite.
This technique adds depth and dimension to the squirrel’s features. The intricate details and realistic depiction of the fur truly lend a lifelike quality to the artwork. Since that moment, I have been dedicated to working with charcoal.
While natural talent and professional training can be beneficial. The sheer love for what I do and the willingness to keep working are what makes the difference for me. This artwork brings a hint of nature and a sense of whimsy to any living space, fostering a tranquil and peaceful ambiance.
Tools Of Choice-
To create this drawing, I used a variety of charcoal and graphite pencils as well as rubbers and smudging stumps.
I’m able to portray the furry texture of a squirrel’s coat beautifully. Charcoal’s expressive lines and smudging techniques make this possible. The versatile nature of charcoal allowed me to capture the delicate features of squirrels. The contrast between the charcoal and the white paper creates a dramatic effect, enhancing the overall impact of the drawing.
