    The key takeaways are that this drawing process uses graphite pencils in various hardnesses to build a portrait through stages from initial lay-in to finishing details. Proper materials and patient procedure are emphasized.

    The materials needed for this drawing process include graphite pencils in various hardnesses, erasers, blending tools, and archival paper.

    The assignment is to mimic the demonstrated process of using shapes and values to draw the portrait of an older gentleman named William, paying attention to skull structure, planes, and shape design.

    DRAWING PROGRAM

    Head Drawing Phase V:


    Male/Graphite Long Drawing

    OVERVIEW
    In this head drawing phase we will be shifting away from our beloved charcoal and switch to graphite.
    The emphasis will still be on building a portrait from the lay-in to the mapping to the midtone, and on
    to the finish. The major difference is graphite requires more hardnesses in the form of pencils, and a
    more steady work up of the drawing through those various hardnesses. We will also be using archival
    surfaces to execute these “finished” portraits. Over the years I have realized how teaching and using
    graphite has subtly influenced my design sense, my shape recognition, my dexterity, and my overall
    patience. This is a wonderful medium, the sky really is the limit! Enjoy.

    Head Drawing Phase V:
    Male/Graphite Long Drawing

    ASSIGNMENT: Whether you are drawing Figure Phase 5 or Head Drawing Phase 5, I encourage you
    to really lean into these longer efforts. I have chosen an older gentleman, William, to work through
    the process. I want you to think about the skull, abstraction and the Asaro planes you have worked
    with in the earlier Head Drawing phases. In this phase really take note of how I design the shapes
    of the major shadows, as well as halftones that belong to both the light and the dark.

    Part 1: Watch the video, paying close attention to my procedure.

    Part 2: S can the workbook and prepare your work area. Print out your reference.

    Part 3: Make sure you have archival paper. Have all of your pencils out, erasers, stumps, bridge, etc.

    Part 4: P roceed to mimic the procedure you just watched. Try to keep your drawing stages clear
    and carefully excuted. Yoy may want to give yourself a bit more time than I use. This
    process is about patoient procedure.

    Note: Really put extra attention to your initial lay-in. It is pivotal as it always is to accurately place
    where your features are as you utilize your knowledge you have gathered of the skull, planes and
    rhythmic abstraction. If you have already done goauche portrait, you will see the similarity as
    to how the shapes are designed in the lay-in phase. I compartmentalize all of the halftones into
    specific shapes, or was we refer to them in goauche, as “tiles”. Remember, we are preparing you for
    painting through the art of drawing. Never forget that.

    This is an excellent photo. So much


    structure and opportunity for choices in
    shape design. You don’t have to follow mine
    perfectly, but I do suggest really watching
    my choice closely and then referring back
    to the photo to compare notes on my
    choices and manipulations.

    Here is the heavy placement phase. Lots of


    educated guessing using your knowledge
    of comparative measurement. Keep your
    knowledge of the skull, abstraction and
    planes close to your attention. You may
    want to go back and do some refresher
    work on these concepts.

    Now comes the time when you inject a


    middle tone. I would be using an HB or
    2B pencil for this phase. You can start
    varying the values in a very subtle manner,
    but stay on point!

    In this image we can see me starting to


    inject the full value darks. You will now be
    starting to beging the process of building
    up to the finish.

    At this point you shouldn’t


    have to correct any
    placement issues. All of the
    “heavy” lifting should be
    done, and now you can start
    to settle into a nice rythym
    with your cross contouring.
    This is the way you work
    your cross hatching lines
    to give the illusion of tone.
    The inking phases will be a
    great place to further explore
    this process. I like to try and
    make every little area of the
    drawing have a beautiful
    design. However, keep in
    mind that the pieces should
    always support the overall
    statement. This is where the
    real art form plays itself out.
    Best to follow my lead but
    leave room for a bit of your
    own individual design.
