My name is Richa Agarwal (@richa_agarwal_art). I am a realistic charcoal and graphite sketch artist from Siliguri, West Bengal. I mostly specialize in making realistic portraits by the healthy combination of both graphite and charcoal as art mediums. Apart from portraits, I have also worked on landscapes, still life and caricatures. I conduct art workshops and online sessions to impart basic knowledge of perfecting the features of a realistic and hyper realistic portrait.

Here's what you will learn:

The participants would learn the basics of perfecting a portrait using the combination of both charcoal and graphite.
I would start with basic gradient and tonal study and then move on to the introduction of Proportion study that is very significant when one starts a portrait.
There are varied techniques of getting the right proportion based on the reference image given.I would definitely throw light on those techniques.
Making a portrait using the healthy combination of graphite and charcoal.
Introduction to varied tools, art supplies, and how one must use these tools to get a desired effect would be part of my workshop.
Techniques for making hair, the use of paper stumps, the thorough use of different erasers, techniques to create an illusions
The way the charcoal powder and graphite pencil can be blended together shall be few of the highlights of my workshop.
