Gesso and Charcoal Drawing

I have finally put together the video to follow up on the 'Creating a background by using up leftover paint' video.

So in this video which will be in two parts, I demonstrate my proses of creating a charcoal and white gesso painting/drawing using shadow and highlights to create a front facing portrait. I explain using a photo reference how the face is divided up into sections to make it easier to draw.  

 

 

a little foot note:
 Apologies for the little typo error
in the copy of video two :")
"adding some white gesso now to her face now"
Obviously the first now should not be there, lol.
