Description
Graphite pencil drawing of an orphan girl from Myanmar (Burma) on A4 Daler Rowney Airbrush Bristol board.
Pencils: Mars Lumograph (6B, 8B), W H Smith Woodless 9B, Faber Castell 9000 (6B, 8B), mechanical pencils 0.3mm/2B, 0.5mm/4B with Pentel Ain Stein leads.
Blending: Blending stump from Royal Langnickel and paper tissues.
Erasing: WH Smith kneadable eraser and Tombow Mono Zero Ultra-fine eraser.
Photo adjustment using GIMP: Removal of barrel distortion; Cropping to A4 ratio and removal of perspective distortion; Cropping unfinished edges of drawing; Adjustment of histogram.
The reference that I used, of this lovely girl, was photographed by Dietmar Temps at a small monastery and monastic school in Mawlamyine and I thank him for giving his photograph, www.flickr.com/photos/deepblue… a CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 licence permitting derivative works.
For this drawing I chose to lighten the contrast on the hair somewhat so that the waves and curls were more apparent and I also attempted to remove the extremely narrow depth of focus apparent in the original.
Here is a drawing process for this drawing:
I have previously made several other drawings from Dietmar Temps's lovely photographs:

beautiful face. which grit did you use for the substrate and how heavy was the arch?
do you also use wiping techniques with fingers or brushes on the face? just around the cheeks and under the eyes?
thank you very much for this wonderful picture.
Thanks very much
