How to create skin textures

-
Hola people!!!
Recently, I have been making a pencil sketch of VENOM with Tom Hardy. Being a self taught artist, I love doing experiments with different art styles. These days, I am much into trying realistic sketches using Charcoal and Graphite pencils. 

Having no guidance, I strugged a lot with many different techniques, specially giving skin textures. So here are my tips and tricks that anyone can apply to give a 'so called' perfect skin texture

So, I will be sharing some of the photos that I shared recently on my insta stories. You may have a look there too....

1. Basic tones
Here, I have used basic set of HB pencil for light tones and 6B pencil for dark tones

2.Texture
Those basic tones are added with few uneven texture so that it attains a natural look.

3.Depth
Giving depth to your artwork is very important.It makes it look more impressive.

4.Basic skin tone
Here we have added a basic skin tone with no texture using 2B and HB pencils.

5. Texture
Here we have added basic textures that must look a bit uneven .

6. Direction to the skin texture
Next, we have added some prominent lines that depicts the direction of the textures on the skin and further suides us to make other minor textural strokes.

7.White highlights
Filling the skin texture according to the direction, next we added a bit of white highlights using white pens ( number 05)

8.Done ; )
The next thing I do is, keep staring at those details until I start hating them....
Just kidding buddy😉....

So this is exactly what I do to make the skin texture look real.Hope you enjoyed this.

I had always been into drawing and sketching. It is not only my hobby but my passion as well. Being a self-taught artist, I had always struggled with many techniques related to art. There were always art-related questions in my mind, and I struggled a lot to get their answers. Thanks to social media that helped me a lot to solve my queries. There are some things I have learned practicing in my recent years. I do not make a perfect sketch and I know there is more room to get a perfect sketch, but the improvements I saw in my recent artworks are quite encouraging. Art is something you practice and learn every time you are into it. There are a few facts that I think you should be aware of when you are in a creative field or you intend to improve your art skills. Practice and patience is the key to become a good artist. Try different art styles and art forms initially, to figure out your interest. Start your work by taking inspiration from the things around you. You may try...

Sketching Venom

I had always loved taking challenges to improve my skills in art. Recently, while looking for some movie suggestions, I saw an extraordinary poster of VENOM, and I decided to sketch it and give my best in it..... I started it with a lot of enthusiasm but I realised very soon that this would take ages, if I make it with the same pace. But then, loosing my patience would be the worst I could do. So I decided to complete it part by part each day. For example, the first day I would be spending just to give the basic skin tones, the second day to give the skin textures and so on.... The sketch took about 10 days and lump sum of 20 hours for completion, but it also played a vital role in brushing my skills. So, here I have brought for you the final sketch of VENOM (Tom Hardy) Although, perfection has no limits but I am very much satisfied with this work of mine. This artwork is basically made from charcoal and graphite pencils. The highlights are done using White pens and Eraser ...
