Let's easy further and combine the chaotic gesture of the line with an eraser for stained texture. In this manner, I want to emphasize and show you that razor is not only used for erasing, but for creating too I will begin in the same chaotic manner as the previous one example. I will work almost with hp pencil and later on with six B for the face. First, I will set the place of darkness in the hair. I will need this place for taking off the graphite it will be my source for graphite. When I go with the eraser on the surface, I will not press that much but moving as if it is a pencil in this way, the graphite collects on the plane of the razor.

And I can use it as a drawing tool and not as an erasing tool. Now I throw with a razor only. It gives me a very nice stain texture. It is possible to build the whole portrait only with this kind of texture. I can't stress enough the texture without the principle of light is just a flat texture. But when the principle of light is applied to it, you can turn it in whatever you like to create, face, body, landscape, animals and so on.

That's why I'm looking again to find and build correctly. All elements in the shadows on to create properly. The form, core cast shadow in the reflection. Now I will combine the stain texture of the eraser with the six B pencil and work out the single elements. From now on, I will work in alternation pencil, eraser, pencil eraser. In this way, I can build layers upon layers.

In expressive manner, the reference photo is not bad for this kind of manner, but the one with sharper light and more expressiveness in the face would be better. It's finished now, in this manner is possible to work on the bigger areas just with a couple of things gestures and combine them with pencil details. It has vigor and dynamic character
