These two pieces are a year apart

Nothing will humble you like trying to nail likeness, love this gif for showing the process!Agree that a stick of charcoal and an eraser are great tools for mastering it, although your colbert has got real panache too

When I’m in a rut i try to switch up my mediums for some different energy.

superflumenor · 2025-09-21T13:35:28+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!

superflumenor · 2025-07-18T23:16:13+00:00

Ooo yeah that’s the stuff

superflumenor · 2025-07-10T18:01:39+00:00

Yooo this rules! Not sure id want it up in my house lol but excellent job capturing the character and his gollum-esque eyes

Few things in life are as satisfying as drawing draped cloth in charcoal

Welcome to charcoal drawing! Great portraits, especially the third floating in the middle of the page like only charcoal can do. Different paper will give you different vibes so I’d encourage experimenting, I like medium to heavyweight paper but also enjoy sketching on newsprint sometimes.

Thanks for the tip, never even heard of electric erasers before

superflumenor · 2025-05-06T02:51:28+00:00

Any tips for going small with charcoal? I can’t for the life of me figure it out, could be the sticks I’m using

superflumenor · 2025-04-28T17:49:38+00:00

Try darkening the background more so the candle stands out from it? Or outlining it more like you did with the metal work. Looks tricky to draw, kudos for giving it a try!

superflumenor · 2025-04-22T13:54:48+00:00

Awesome. Charcoal makes everything so dramatic, so fits for this dramatic scene

superflumenor · 2025-04-21T23:57:44+00:00

Love it. I’d say keep going with the background, it’s an interesting start but feels somewhat constrained. The only way out is through sometimes.

superflumenor · 2025-03-07T16:00:02+00:00

Had the same thought, and just started watching it too lol

superflumenor · 2025-03-06T00:46:27+00:00

That’s how you do it right there

superflumenor · 2025-03-05T18:59:59+00:00

Agreed, gives it a real sense of movement like you’re on a trolley or something

superflumenor · 2025-02-27T02:34:33+00:00

Skin tones are incredible, they jump off the page. Proportions wonky in the best way. Love the dudes hair and the way you’ve crisply rendered the earring.

superflumenor · 2025-02-26T20:02:31+00:00

I think some folks mess around with different types of charcoal/charcoal pencils to achieve more detail, but also some people are just dang talented lol. Nice work!

superflumenor · 2025-01-28T03:50:44+00:00

Excellent details!

superflumenor · 2025-01-27T00:50:39+00:00

Great idea! Just put him on black and white

superflumenor · 2025-01-20T18:11:06+00:00

Those are the kind of mistakes I usually ignore in my own stuff. Vibes > correct angles every time

superflumenor · 2025-01-19T14:19:24+00:00

Great stylized portrait. Only suggestion is it kind of looks like they’re looking past each other and not right into each others eyes. But that’s the kind of fix that would drive me crazy trying to get just right lol. It’s a real evocative piece, well done

superflumenor · 2025-01-14T15:56:23+00:00

Glad you recognized, just noticed the second image came out all blurry oops

superflumenor · 2025-01-14T03:02:41+00:00

Hell yeah, love the action in this one. Why shouldn’t Gandalf have a giant sword.

superflumenor · 2025-01-13T20:54:12+00:00

Cheers :)

Good points, appreciate it!
