As of today August 11, 2021, this is the day that I was born via normal delivery at home 😂 Kidding aside, today is my birthday guess what is my age though lol.
Anyways I have a drawing still in progress which I planned to finished it today and hoping I'm gonna finish it today. My original plan to draw was my own photo only but since I haven't tried to draw a photo of us (with my fiance) it's kinda hard to achieved a very smooth finish in the long run of my drawing.
I think it took me atleast 10 hours just for myself. The sketching took me around 3 hours I guess. This is my problem when I draw two reference to an 8.5x11 inches vellum board. They say that this kind of size was recommended only for 1 reference. I needed to have a bigger size so I won't struggle on drawing sketches and most important shading skin tone.
Let me share my unfinished project of our photo.
I usually did the left area first to avoid smudging the paper accidentally. In my case, whenever I use charcoal powder I always had residue from it that some of the powder stuck on my paper. I use charcoal powder to achieve more intense black color for the hair.
I needed to learn how to brush it properly so I can have a pleasant looking hair. Tommorow I think I'm gonna finish it and will post an update soon. Thanks for dropping and been part of my birthday this year.
XOXO,
