Every masterpiece begins as a whisper on paper and what you see here started with the faintest outlines , cause I make use of a grid just to make it balanced
With every layer you see here , the shadows deepened until it felt like the paper itself started to breathe. For me, making this drawing gave me some confidence in myself that I could actually make something better with the same drawing ✍️
This part, this is the part where I started applying my colors and also blocking them
I was using manny medium for this piece…
Charcoal, pastel , acrylic etc
Every expression tells a story. This piece reflects a quiet strength, a moment caught between relaxation and reflection. The colors, the posture, and the gaze all come together to capture the essence of calm confidence.
Thank y’all for reading
