Sketch Tutorial #13: Gandalf The Grey!!

Hello and Happy Sunday everyone! 

(This Post and Video was originally presented on my Patreon site two weeks prior, and is re-presented here now):

Thanks for dropping in! -You are just in time- here's the latest Sketch Tutorial Video for you; this week's subject is the inimitable Sir Ian McKellen as the venerable wizard from the Lord Of The Rings! 

I cover all the usual challenges of rendering values, contracts and proportions in this one-hour timed session, squeezed down to about 7.5 minutes for your abbreviated amusement :) 

For those of you ready to try this project yourselves:

I've included the source image and my Charcoal supply lists below, and encourage you all to stop by one of my twice-a-month Virtual Art sessions every other Sunday at 2:00 pm to work on projects like this one! 

(Reach out to me through Patreon or here on this site for details).

If you have no time to see the painstakingly-produced video above, here is a peek at the sketch below, just so you don't go away empty handed!

As always, thank you for your support each month,
and please have a fantastic weekend and week ahead! 

​Talk with you soon,
​
