Here we are on day 3 of my art challenge.
This drawing is another 5x7” on the drawing paper.
This time I did a piece inspired by some of my coloring book
drawings. I started with a 2H pencil and did a light sketch of the face and
some of the hair tendrils.
Once I got a good sketch I took the 03 Prismacolor pen and
started following my pencil marks. I had some hair pieces I didn’t like so I
redid the lines of those. Then I worked back and forth with pen and pencil to get
the final ink rendering.
Then I decided to add all the swirling lines around the back
and sides of the head.
After the whole ink drawing was finished I used an eraser to
gently remove any pencil lines that were showing. I scanned the drawing into
the computer at this point.
Then I used watercolors to give it life. I tried not to get
too detailed with the paint. I just wanted to highlight each part and make the
face stand out.
I am having fun with this challenge and each day I find
myself getting less stressed about what I create. Today I told myself that if I
messed up the drawing I would just create another one. That worked to help me
relax and not worry about what I was creating.
After all, this is just a small piece of paper and a pencil.
Not an expensive loss if I get the drawing wrong. But it’s easy to get caught
up in trying to do a perfect job the first time you sit down to draw, or begin
any project. It’s a human thing. So we have to learn to let go and allow the
mistakes to happen. That’s really how we learn.
I hope you are having a great week. And I hope you are
trying new things each week.
