-I once said to a friend at a group spa day. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.
This started out innocently enough then I started to think about the ache on the left side of my lower jaw. My wisdom tooth is giving me trouble so the area around the tooth is slightly swollen. I imaged myself splitting my jaw to fish out the troublesome bastard then I’d get some relief. Is that too dark?
I was thinking about taking photos tonight, that way I have images to edit while I’m traveling but I’m getting swept back into the drawing bug. I guess instead of stressing myself out by planning everything out in my day I can throw in a few curve balls. I might also try something different while in Chicago and do real time updates with candid images. That way I won’t sit on my pictures like I usually do.
The progress...
All my drawings are original sketches drawn digitally by me on the Procreate App using the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
Pencils which were drawn fairly quickly. I did add other elements to the picture but it took away from it’s bold look so I erased them.
Light shading to create shapes.
Darker pencils. I had to duplicate this layer twice to get the desired look.
Back shading in two different shades to get the features to stand out.
Deeper shadows to the face.
Highlights to draw in the eyes and she’s done!
