Good day to you all.
As my contribution to the Hive Learners Creative Sunday and my love for art and drawings, I decided to participate in the week's art and sketch initiative.
This is an artwork. I should call it penwork. Most art and sketches are made using pencils, but I have decided to step up my game and use a pen for all my drawings.
You can only define a true artist when they can come up with an artwork out of anything and not just so dependent on certain materials. The advantage of using a pencil over a pen is that it can be easily erased. But as for pens, once you make a mistake then you have to start over again.
Let’s journey on how I get to draw my artwork
This week I have decided to come up with an amazing actress from the movie Jewel in the palace. I have watched the movie for a while now I habe been listening to a particular music on repeat.
Out of love for the actress I decided to make a sketch of it.
The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring art out, but I had no idea what the art could look like. I just have to make sure I bring something meaningful out of it.
The next step after getting the tools was to sketch, and sketching is always done to avoid mistakes. Make a light appearance of how you want the artwork to look like. And if there should be any necessary corrections then it would be way easier to amend.
At this stage, I had to sketch the face. Then i moved on to the neck, and then hairs, after that i drew the sleeves.
After making a perfect sketch, it was time to include some values.
At this stage i had to draw the eyes and the mouth. One thing i try as much to prevent are drawings with faces. If care is not taken then you don’t have a choice thab to start all over. I tried to figure out the face some traces in the hair too.
Tracing is all about giving a proper and clearer view from a sketch. When you trace it gives the final chance to make changes and corrections to the artwork.
Giving it a final touch makes the art more incredible. This is where I had to give the arts some design. I traced the edges so thick which gave it the final and lively appearance. It wasn't easy getting a point that worked well for the view. But I gave my best.
After all, I got to shade and shadow it. This was to give it a better life appearance from angles.
