Hi everyone, welcome to another great section of my realistic art, Titled lost page, in africa..
materials include
- 2b mechanical pencil
- 12b pencil
- eraser
- cotton bud
- blade
- charcoal pencil ( white and black)
step 1
Looking at the steps what can you say!?, you could see the gradual process right!. Using my 2b pencil, I sketched out all the image, using, charcoal black and white I drew the hair and used the white pencil to inscribed every light part of the hair. Then using my 12b pencil to shade and cotton bud to smoothen it before I applied the skin effects as you can see. Then on the eye I use charcoal black on it, inside and outside.
step2
At this point, I was only using my 12b pencil and eraser and cotton bud. I drew all her face as usual. Then the tears on it, I used my 12b but only that I went extra darker creating out the non parallel tears from her eyes. It was amazing being the first type of drawing of its kind from me.. I used the charcoal black for the other eye and it was nice. My eraser help created the pimples and light spaces in between he skin. And with all these I was satisfied.
step 3
On my 12b and charcoal pencil and eraser, I produced what you are seeing. The first part of the drawing. The shirt was charcoal strictly and her other parts were as a result of eraser and 12b pencil. Those like circles on her shirt were the fiction of the eraser. It is really interesting when you know how to use little materials to produce great effects... and the hand on her other shoulder, I use 12b too, only that I went a little light on her shading and skin effect.

Now unto the second piece, I started with her hair, and here I used, same charcoal pencil and white. The white functioned as the highlight while the black as the part with the dark strands... towards the edges of her fore head, we're series of thin strokes.... from there I moved to her forehead, using that same 12b pencil to shade and cotton bud to smoothen and 12b in applying effects. While then I used my eraser to create out the skin pores and pimple on her forehead... I will explain the eye in the next step
step 5
Now I continued using those same materials... the eyes, I used charcoal, the holes in her nose, I used charcoal too. Other parts were function of the 12b pencil and eraser effect, causing her pimples to become so realistic... on her shirt I used the 12b mechanical pencil to create the shirt and those circular lines on it or patterns.
step 6
Work finished.... I concluded the realistic drawing and was happy getting better...
THE STORY
Size: 20by25 inches
This is channeled to the ups and downs people face in AFRICA. Sometimes we cry other times we are so sad. When would pain in Africa stop? when are we going to stop having lost pages in our endeavors? What a life o! what a lost page in Africa!
I wish these pain could reduce to its barest minimum of 70:30% in Africa just like in developed countries.
O! LOST PAGE...
