I’ve only recently found your work. It’s wonderful. I’m still trying to work out how you get graphite to do this, because it is harder to emulate than I thought.

Veramente bellissimi lavori!!!! Emozionante!!!

❣️

really stunning works. do you mind me asking which pencil was it that you used for these drawings?

Mostly a mechanical pencil (Pentel pencils). Some also are drawn with graphite pencils as well. All HB. It's a Moleskine sketchbook and so the paper has a slightly card-like quality to it.

How long did you spend on the portraits? Beautiful work

Thank you. The amount of time varies with each drawing. If you pause the video, you might just be able to make out the timings (I've noted the amount of time to the side of drawings). Some of them have a total of about 35-45 minutes devoted to them and some have over an hour or two hours. Mostly, I draw for about 30-40 minutes at a time (it gets hard to concentrate fully for more than an hour at a time). Some of the drawings have been returned to on different visits. Only ever drawing directly from the real object, though.

Which museum were these made in?
