Here you can see more of my metalpoint drawings.
Here you can find my tutorials in which I explain how my metalpoint drawings are made. Here is a step by step guide about how I made this drawing.
This is a metalpoint drawing of a snarling wolf in profile. Image size is 8×10 inches. It is made with 24 karat gold, palladium, and aluminum. The more commonly used name for this drawing technique is “silverpoint,” but since I didn’t use silver for this artwork, I’m using the term “metalpoint” instead.
Here the finished drawing is photographed together with the drawing tools I used for making it. From top to bottom: a stylus with a 1 mm gold wire, a stylus with a 1 mm palladium wire, a mechanical pencil with a 0.9 mm aluminum wire inserted in it, a mechanical pencil with a 0.5 mm aluminum wire, a mechanical pencil with a 0.5 mm gold wire, a wire brush with aluminum wires that I used for creating fur textures.
When light is falling on a metalpoint drawing at an angle, it looks shiny.
For a while already I have been thinking about how to combine my more realistic looking metalpoint drawings with tribal designs. This one was a test drawing to see how that could potentially look like.
