Hello Steemians,
I am SalvizzyOmaligba actually joined this community some days back.
Happy weekend to everyone here steeming to add value to this awesome community, Want to quickly drop something I worked on.
Remember the Great Statue of Liberty in New York City and what it means to the United States? I guess you'd remember, what a pleasant memory in the United State's History, So in love with the story behind the Statue of Liberty.
Today I want to drop a little sketch of the Statue of Liberty and the Steps involved in the sketch.
The sketch was made from a reference picture and also from my own imagination of the appearance of the statue.
Salvador Dali once said that
"Drawing is the honesty of the art
There is no possibility of cheating.
It is either good or bad". This is actually my philosophy. It was challenging trying to put the sketch together tho, spent time on it but the time spent worth the gain. This is the case of me learning and having fun and being quite the best I can.
Let's have a quick glance through the various steps involved in the drawing of the Great Statue of Liberty.
Here I used HB pencil, 4B pencil, Eraser and a 15cm ruler.
This is how the drawing looks after all the steps.
Below are the respective steps
STEP 1
Mark off the width and height of the statue of liberty. Draw a circle for her head. Add a guideline for it, not forgetting to mark the size of her head.
STEP 2
Add a line that will act as the center of the body. With short lines, define the shoulders, chest and waist. Mark the facial features and the neck.
STEP 3
Sketch the shape of the clothes and the book.
STEP 4
Add more lines to indicate tunic wrinkles and mark, with several lines, the torch.
STEP 5
Draw the hands and fingers. Delineate the tips of the crown points. Add a nose,mouth, eyes and eye brows to the Statue of Liberty.
STEP 6
Outline the biggest plies. Add lines for the torch.
STEP 7
Work on the figure, paying special attention to details: small piles and flames.
STEP 8
Contour the Statue of Liberty. Add some details
This is my own approach and steps involves in the drawing of the Great Statue of Liberty.
I much hope it's nice and worth your upvote... More coming from me.
