Above is the finished drawing of the falcon that I started at art class last week. I completed this over Monday and Tuesday. I went over the head and back with a 6B pencil, then used the cotton disc that I was given at art class to blend it in. I also went over the eye, the circle of the nose and the beak. I added lighter shading on the beak going up. Then I added some fine detail to the beak and around the eye. I also darkened the areas on the right. I got out my putty rubber and removed some lighter areas down the back of the head and a little bit at the top. Then I added some more finer details to the area down the bottom. I outlined his markings lower down and added some feather detail before rubbing out the grid guidelines. Then I filled in the markings with the 6B pencil. I added some lighter shading to his front and blended it in. Then I lightened any areas that were too dark with the putty rubber. I darkened any areas that were too light aswell. Then I went over some of the feather details to make them stand out more. Then I adjusted anything that needed adjusting, lightening some areas and darkening others. Lastly I rubbed out any smudges that shouldn't have been there, especially around the outside of the bird. Then I called it finished. I wiped my hands, which were covered in graphite, on a wet wipe. They are great at getting pencil or paint off your hands. Some of the drawing was done on the Monday and some on the Tuesday. I made some YouTube videos about it, as I always do, and then I signed it and put it back in my folder. Tomorrow is art class day again. I hope my taxi turns up to take me home this time! How are you all doing? Have a nice day.
