CHARCOAL DRAWING - Machine Revolution

in #art6 years ago

Hello Friends!

This week i missed the Art Explosion Week contest, whose theme was "Revolution" It was a theme that i liked very much. Due to technical problems i could not make my entry, i also finished my illustration today so i would not have the opportunity to participate.

The inspiration of this piece an idea very used in science fiction, where the machines begin their revolution, attacking humans and revealing themselves before them. A question that we have done for a long time, will someday the machines reveal themselves to us?

Some movies like Matrix and The Terminator have used this concept in which i am inspired by this drawing, where i illustrate a war machine and cyber soldiers attacking the city.

Let's go to the process of illustration.

I used the following tools:

  • Mechanical Pencil.
  • HB, 4B, 6B Leads.
  • Charcoal Pencil Medium.
  • Brush.
  • Graphite Powder.
  • Difusser.
  • Cotton.
  • A4 Opaline 300 G.

The Process:

  • I started making the sketch with the HB pencil so that the lines are clearer and do not stain the illustration, also protect the edges that have different shades.

  • In the pencil of charcoal I made the rubble, filling with the diffuser and shading with the brush.


  • I drew the texture of the rubble with the moldable eraser to give relief and volume.

  • In this part i began to illustrate the arm of the robot, i used the pencils HB, 4B and 6B to make the metallic tones, while the shadows and darker parts were drawn with the charcoal pencil.

  • Some artists draw the background first then the elements, i do not do that and i think that for this type of illustrations it is very difficult to work on a background. This is a practice of scenarios that I usually do not do.


  • It was a bit complicated to make the tones, each part of the robot has 3 layers of graphite until it reaches the right tone.

  • with the charcoal pencil i remarked the details and shaded, with the diffuser i expanded the tone to make shadows.


  • the next thing was very similar, getting the tones and as it reached the left side it cleared a little to make the light notice.

  • I drew an assault weapon on his other arm, and left the silhouettes of the soldiers to illustrate when the robot finished.

  • with the charcoal pencil, I added two soldiers, i shaded them with the brush and the diffusser, and with the moldable eraser i gave them light.


  • When i finished drawing the soldiers, i began to illustrate the rubble on the left.

  • with the graphite powder and the brush I illustrated the ruined buildings in the background, to use the same texture of the paper as the base of the building.


I illustrated the other building and with cotton and graphite dust i made the smoke from the bottom, giving the sensation of a chaotic world in flames and where it is combined with the robot and the soldiers.

In this illustration i wanted to practice with the background to improve and avoid doing my illustrations just where i draw the character, i also want to add landscapes and other elements so that they are not just an empty illustration.

My friend @veryspider inspired me a bit, since in her illustrations she uses the scenarios a lot and just by seeing it i realized how the illustration changes, with the addition of the landscape.

Thank you very much for watching my post, i hope you like it and thanks for support!

Until the next time!
