Hello my dear Steemians!!!
It's been a while I know, but I had been pretty busy these past few weeks. I'm making a lot of stuff from home, family, business and many more things. Finally, I'm back and happy to be here once again and I really miss all of you! Summer is here, I can feel it. I wanted to stay at home but the heat is unbearable and It's not a good idea to go outside or anywhere else because I can feel the sunrays boring into my skin . Now, I think it's time to come up with something new on this blog.
Guys, I want to share with you my new artwork here. I know it's a little bit odd and if you look closely, it's actually a ballerina girl dancing with her legs and arms swaying gracefully as she dances from the sand. I love this new stuff that I'm making and I love to see those poses and gestures which are really simple but will define art in so many different ways. I was actually inspired to draw this because a friend of mine always post ballet pictures of her. I also love to draw human anatomy structures since they really define beauty and art.
Because you are my friend, I will share with you how I´ve made it and I will give you some tips and techniques that you probably don´t know yet.
As you may know, a lot of artists are always trying and experimenting various techniques that will bring uniqueness to their arts. Those people who make arts in form of food art, sand art, etc... all of them are awesome and really considered beautiful masterpieces. This time, I will bring to the table what I called the "Inverted art" drawing. The concept to this is very simple, all you have to do is convert your art into a negative sort of effect and you will get the final result. This is very cool if you get a good result! You wouldn't imagine that you can make that cool effect which you didn't really expect.
THE PROCESS
So the first thing to prepare is of course your pencil and you paper. It doesn't matter what kind or what brand of paper pencil you are using as long as the paper is clean white and your pencil has a dark render. This time I'm gonna use my favorite graphite pencil ''Steadler'' and "vellum board" as my paper.
Make sure your paper is always clean. You will need to covert your artwork into negative effect so make it clean and avoid unnecessary lines. This is the 1st part of my workimg process
Always remember that your dark shading will turn into white and your white will turn into black. That is also the reason why I want you to use a dark pencil to really highlight those areas. Another tip is to use cotton or tissue to smooth the texture of your shading. This part is really important because once you convert your image, you will see every stroke from your pencil in white color. That is why I recommend you to smoothen the texture by rubbing it or smudging it using your cotton or tissue.
As you may now see, I'm trying to work on half of her body. Giving it some shape and posture. Also you can use a pencil eraser to make a thin lines.
Here, I already finished the entire drawing and I think it looks great, at least that´s what my mom said! LOL!
I also smoothen some shadings which is really important. I Added some sand effect to make it more realistic and beautiful. Now I guess it's time to convert our drawing. So first let me take a picture of our finish drawing.
After I converted it...
It works fine!!!
Now we have some realistic and unbelievable result. Here are some working in process images.
The result was pretty amazing when I scanned it. It looks like a digital painting now. Those sand effects also brings beauty and added some 3d illusion I think.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Like what I have told you. Don't be scared trying out some new stuff. Experiment, explore, discover some various ways that you haven't tried yet. Be more artistic and try to find your method and get out of that comfort zone. Just believe in yourself that "you can do what others can" because what makes an art great are the flaws, nobody is perfect...judst try and try until you think you have perfected your masterpiece.
I enjoy sharing on Steemit my new art for today and I hope you guys like it. I must admit that I may not be as good as many artists are in this world, but one thing I had in my mind is I believe in myself. I believe in working hard and practicing will make you succeed in every aspect in life and in whatever you do. I would like to help kids and all aspiring artists out there who always try their best to learn more and improve themselves in art. . .
So thank you friends for reading my blog and I will be back soon for another drawing session with you.. Once again, thank you for your time and God bless.
