I used Black, Gray, & White Conte-Crayon

Conte is very similar to Charcoal and Pastels, but is a bit harder (they break easily) and usually smaller in bar sizes.  All I used to create this art piece was black, Gray, and White conte bars and my fingers...no computer necessary :)

RealArtMattersI will admit this picture is very well made.
But who is the model? Did you use a photo reference?

Heatherenie on July 6, 2008, 3:47:53 PM

Heatherenie on
HeatherenieThank you! The model is my very close friend, Brianna. Yes, I snapped a picture as she was blow drying her, I think it's spelt, boutique...? I used the photo as a reference.

Dark_ShivaTHAT is soo Amazing!! what do you use? it kinda look by photoshop or corel draw...awesome.

Heatherenie on June 18, 2008, 11:14:16 PM

Heatherenie on
HeatherenieIt's called "Conte" it's like a hard chalk, kind of like pastel, but a bit harder than that even.  I used the black, white, and gray conte

Dark_Shiva on June 19, 2008, 12:25:22 AM

Dark_Shiva on
Dark_ShivaGlad to hear it´s not photoshop, awesome work.

burntshrub on June 17, 2008, 1:12:37 PM

burntshrub on
burntshrubBy the way, you should probably explain what Conte is hahahaha. I don't think most of the people on this site seem to know what what you are talking about and think its some computer software (which I guess is a compliment). Of course, maybe they just don't read :)

Heatherenie on June 18, 2008, 11:26:03 PM

Heatherenie on
HeatherenieYeah, OK.  I thought that was funny too and very complimentary.  I noticed that people use a lot of that computer software stuff on here.  I've never even tried doing that stuff, although it probably is an entirely new technique that you would have to learn.  But, I like to do everything the dirty way :).  I guess I didn't even learn about conte until my senior year of high school.  It's so insignificant haha, but to ease the confusion I I'll explain. :)

burntshrub on June 17, 2008, 1:10:50 PM

burntshrub on
burntshrubYeah thats the conte I'm talking about. What type of paper did you use? Again, I have little experience with it. I've got several conte crayons but have only used them on illustration board so I bet its great on bristol board or something. :D

Heatherenie on June 18, 2008, 11:18:42 PM

Heatherenie on
HeatherenieI have no idea what kind of paper it is.  I really never paid much attention to that.  All I know is that it is super soft and smooth paper, very well for blending.  And is like the only kind of paper that I found that works the best with any kind of pastel, chalk, or conte.  Not even "chalk paper" is good.  it's too rugged for me.  If you want it smooth, find smooth paper.  :)

burntshrub on June 16, 2008, 1:54:01 PM

burntshrub on
burntshrubI hate you, I hate conte too, which is why I hate you for being so good at it :(

Of course, I've only used a conte crayon though, so I'm not sure what other ways you can use conte.

Heatherenie on June 17, 2008, 4:05:02 AM

Heatherenie on
Heatherenielol, thank you?! :) The conte I use is like this square stick which brakes in half easily...I don't know if that's the crayon or not though.

Heatherenie on June 14, 2008, 5:22:59 AM

Heatherenie on
HeatherenieConte, I've been saying it's like chalk but I meant that's like Charcoal except it's less messy and a little harder.

Heatherenie on June 14, 2008, 5:23:28 AM
