Let me show you the third stroke, the stroke of a stain. The stain consists of smeared, smashed lines. That's why we first build the portrait with fine lines like the first example in a classical way. I have already shown you how to build gradually layers upon layers, using graded pencils for shading. I don't like to repeat the same. That's why this time, I'm going to show you how to build the portrait using only for the pencil, controlling the pressure of the stroke for deeper or lighter values.

I will make the shading not gradually there. I've been there, but setting the grading at once. This way is for advanced. But each example now we do practice the same principle of light but in a different question. manner using the building elements, line, spot stain and all its variations and possible combinations. The stain is characteristic doesn't have an outline.

Have you seen any outlines by a High Renaissance portrait? Does modern is to have any outlines in the Renaissance. This was the aesthetic of building the portrait, very soft transitions. This technique calls for motto translated into English means soft, vague, or blurred. And it's a painting technique for softening the transition between colors mimicking an area beyond what the human eye is focusing on. Now I'm going to create the stain using the brush as a tool it is possible to see Mirror with your finger tune or combine both.

Also using other tools are allowed. The point is only the quality of the smeared stain. During smearing part of the graphite is taken away. That's why it's necessary to darken the gain, but more favorable with a six B pencil. Now, because the software delete, the more graphite goes onto paper, and the lighter the smearing process is, the art eraser will be used for lightening up to make a nice texture. The practice now is mirroring, drawing with pencil and erasing and again smearing, drawing with pencil erasing to the artwork is finished.

I will let the part of the hair With lines just to have the comparison between the line and the stain as elements in this way is more obvious and understandable to you to make the differences the reference photo is perfect match to this manner of creation because not only the character of the face, but the light is extremely soft For moto as a technique is differentiating mental produce soft transition between colors and tones. In order to achieve a more believable image. It is most often used by making subtle gradations that do not include lines or borders from areas of light to areas of dark. The technique was used not only to give an elusive in illusionistic rendering of the human face, but also to create rich atmospheric effects. Leonardo da Vinci describe the technique as blending colors, without the use of lines or borders, in the manner of smoke.

Do you have the feeling the portrait turned into Renaissance Madonna now That was the stroke of the stain.
