Hi everyone, hope you all are doing great. I'd love to show you a drawing I made for this week's creative Sunday. It's funny how I found it relaxing and fun to draw at night. Last midnight, I was inspired, and I decided to make this drawing. I got inspired by a screenshotted photo of Anok Yai while I was clearing old and irrelevant photos from my phone.
When I began to prepare to draw, I realized that I mostly draw in pencil so I decided to push my boundaries and do a different drawing. I had a colouring set (which I stole from my niece haha), so I thought, it wouldn't be bad to use some colours. I also decided to draw my reference as an alien. I was so nervous and excited at the same time because I wasn't sure if it would turn out nice, but I guess it did, and I'm glad I tried something new. This drawing inspired me to think outside the box and push my boundaries and imagination.

Process
I started by drawing a straight line as the plumb line. This serves as a guide when I draw.
I sketched out the face, starting from the lips to the rest of the face. I made the eye an upward cat eye shape.
I started shading. I started from the lips as well, to the nose and the rest of the face
I add elf ears to give an alien touch.
I continue shading. I shaded the ear the neck and the chest area.
I shade the eyes in colour Yellow and Orange for the darker corners of the eyes.
I shade the hair. I wanted to make the hair white but I went with a light shading to give it a grey look.
I shade the cloth with black crayons and pencils.
This is the final result, I hope you like it as much as I do.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and stay creative❤️
