A Woman's Curve
[nsfw]
Hi everyone! I am here again to participate in a drawing contest with a theme, Nudity initiated by 
If you don't like this kind of drawing, then better stop scrolling.
This is for the purpose of art alone.
As I've mentioned I only draw anime characters and this time I decided to go beyond what I'm used to. I choose not to color this one since I'm still a beginner when it comes to coloring.
It really took me almost 3 hours to finish this art. I really had a hard time of her hands and face. Thankfully, I was able to finish it somehow.
Materials Used
- Mitsubishi Uni Graphite Pencil 3H
- Mitsubishi Uni Graphite Pencil 3B
- Mongol 2 Pencil
- Rotring Eraser
- Sterling Oslo Paper 9"x12"
- Sharpener
- Cotton buds
Working Process
First
I sketched from the shape of her face down to her legs using Mitsubishi Graphite Pencil 3H. I find it hard to draw the eyes first since I'm not a minimalist person. I always draw on a large scale however, I'm only using a 9"x12" Oslo Paper so I better control it beforehand.
Note that when sketching you need to create a lighter shade/body line.
Second
The hair which is hard to achieve especially when you go into more details, that is, it will be a time consuming. With that, I decided to just make a simple long and wavy hair.
At the same time, I also drew the hand. I can't really visualize the hand totally and for that matter, I asked for my sister 
Again, this should be in a lighter line.
Please don't judge me! Hahaha
Third
Lastly, the face. I used my selfie as a reference and copied the shape of my eyes. I made a marker so that I can create an almost equal in size eyes. However, even with a marker, I wasn't able to equate the eyes. I'm not used to this kind of lines and markers. I usually sketch right away. But, I'm planning to go beyond the border, so I started using it on the face only.
Shameless selfie though I really wasn't able to copy my eyes a hundred percent.
Fourth
I then used Mitsubushi 3B to create darker lines. Shading is not my forte actually, but I just follow the rules in our engineering drawing wherein I choose the source of light and do the pointilism to shade the the darker and lighter area of the materials or object. I used Mitsubishi 3B to shade the areas that are against the light, otherwise, I used the Mitsubishi 3H.
However, I still wasn't able to perfect the shading. I badly need some tips and more practice though! :)
Fifth
For the last part, I used a cotton bud to create and spread a smooth shade. I used the eraser of Mongol 1 Pencil to erase the part where I mistakenly darken the area. And used the rotring eraser to clean up the extra lines.
Time Lapse
Final Output
Thank you for reading! ☺️
Have a blessed day!
Keep steeming and keep the fire burning!
