My art therapy/play this evening! She’s totally a freehand and spontaneous drawing. It got extremely ugly and I was going to just give up on it, and something magical happened! I started liking the way she began to come alive to me! LOL Honestly, she wasn’t fun at first, but I really PUSHED myself to finish what I started and what wanted to come out. I used Arteza Watercolor pencils on Mix Media 7×10 98 lb. paper. She’s looking back over her life so she can make necessary preparation for changes!!!
This is my first drawing today in my sketchbook. I decided to use one of my own drawings to try and improve on it. I decided I just wanted to use pencil, not coloring at all. I tried to stay focus on the lines instead fo the whole image, which I do most of the when I use a reference photo and then I get so frustrated. However, I noticed when stayed focus on the lines, I did a whole lot better. I try and remember this in future drawing practices when using references. I really like this version better but love them both! Lol
Below I’m showing a little of the progression to the final piece. I used 2B, 4B, 6B, and HB pencils for this piece and a white Gelly Roll 0.8 pen to highlight the lips and eyes.
