Happy Sunday hivers,I bring to you one of my favorite American singers,also one of my favorite portraits,I did this 2years ago,with my usual material,pen.
It's a 12 by 16 inches work,I did the overall sketching with brown pen,though it was too thick but observing the picture,I knew the brown would blend in,I could as well use orange,I start my sketching from the left because I draw with my right hand so I won't have move my hand on the surface of the already drawn part,shade with the flow of the skin,note the contour,shadow,light and shades,before detailing any hairy part I made sure there are background colours,applied before the drawing of the hair so they don't change the colour of the hair strands or coloured of the background if applied after drawing the hair,the hair flows in several directions such as the beards when zoom,the tattoo on the neck is noted as well as the neck line.
Hope I love this post and find it meaningful.thanks
