Figure study for APHRODITE.
Pencil. 18 x 24 inches.
Model~British Nicole Jean.
I always begin my pencil drawings with a hard pencil, like H. Softly and little by little I draw the outline and begin the shading using parallel lines, just touching the paper.
From time to time, I use my fingers to blend slightly the graphite and begin to use other pencils like 3B or 4B...ending with a 6B for the darkest shadows.
You cannot obtain blacks with pencil...the photo is only a bit darker...purposely, in order to try to show more of the midtones shadowing.
The final protective fixative makes the pencil a little more contrasted.
It is always better to use a colored paper when drawing because you can also add white touches and obtain much more volume.

How did you achieve such delicate tonal differences? Did you touch the paper so lightly that lines are almost invisible?
And how did you do it that the shadows are so deeply dark?
How long did it take you?
And most of all, you mentioned somewhere that you were a self-taught artist. How exactly did you come this far? How did you learn, how did you practice, for how long?
Excuse my inquisitive nature, but it is my dream to be where you are and I could use any pointers you can give me. I ask people about those things all the time, so please don't feel interrogated.
