Hi great minds.

Here is our entry from the all mighty #TeamFabulous.

This weeks contest is about drawing, and the subject used for this drawing is Tommy Shelby who is a fictional character in the movie, "peaker blinders" and played by Cillian Murphy.

It took approximately 3 hours to finish this piece and the size is 12 by 15 inches. It was drawn on pelican paper with charcoal pencils and graphite pencils.

Here are a few progress shot that I took while making this piece

### Here are the materials used in making this realistic drawing

• generals charcoal pencils
• soft graphite pencils
• tortillons or blending stump
• tombow mono zero Elastomer eraser
• kneaded eraser
• flat brushes, makeup brushes
• tissue paper
• Drawing board
• A clean sheet of small paper

The function of these materials are:

• General's charcoal pencil: A chalky medium, used in drawing/shading dark tones and also to add dark details in drawing

• Soft Graphite pencils: Used to draw outlines and also add shades in drawing

• Tortillon/blending stump: a soft paper-like material used mainly for blending and to add details in drawing

• Tissue paper: Used for blending

• Soft flat brushes/makeup brushes: Used also for blending. The different textures of the brush gives different textures in the drawing

• Tombow mono zero Elastomer eraser: used to clean unwanted part and also add highlights in drawing

• Kneaded eraer: An eraser that can be folded to any shape, used also to add soft highlights and also clean unwanted parts in drawing

• Paper: A base where we draw on. And about papers, the quality of paper matters, there are some that can hold our chalky medium more than others. But I most of the time make use of the pelican papers and bristol(strathmore) paper

• A clean sheet of paper: This can be a very small sheet of paper that can be used to place our hands when drawing to avoid smudging our drawing.

Smudging is basically messing up our drawing with dirt's on our fingers or hands. It can be dirt's from the oils on our hands or charcoal residue. Sometimes It is difficult to clean the dirt's off our drawings so it is best we avoid smudging our drawings.
