Several people have asked for a step by step explanation of how I go about drawing a portrait using the Faber Castell Pitt big brush pens and ink. This is the photo of artist Roy Lichtenstein that I will be working from. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember in this exercise is that I will not be drawing eyes, ears, a nose or any other feature but rather drawing the effect of light spilling over these features. Concentrate on that effect. Spend a lot of time just looking at how the light spills over and observe the degree, intensity and direction of the light striking Roy before you begin. Next I will draw an outline to work from.
