Hello Steemians,
It's indeed a great one toady, I thank the almighty for the successful one today again, I thank God for life, the gift as an artist and the privilege to utilize my talent, it's indeed a great privilege, I thank God for that. To be sincere, the drawing above, I never knew I could do this great, but since God is involved, I did it! I had done it! I would love to show you guys how I came across the drawing and will also show you guys the reference picture with a video clip to learn from.
My drawing reference picture.
My drawing procedures with pictures.
(Step 1).
And above picture was the first picture I took while drawing, I had made my sketch with my H pencil and likewise I tried to have everything intact especially my proportion, then I started shading immediately, but this time, I started shading with my 9B graphite pencil all because I wanted the picture very dark at the end of the drawing.
(Step 2).
At this stage, I wanted to have a smooth first layer of my shading, and I tried to get it more attractive using my soft tissue paper in blending the shades after I had shaded the face on a lighter note.
(Step 3).
At this stage, I had shaded the whole face with my same 9B graphite pencil on a second layer just to make it appear more dark while I still used another tissue paper in blending the shading. I tried giving some few details on the eyebrows some parts of the hair and the nose.
(Step 4).
Shading the whole face on another layer to make is appear more dark, still using my same 9B graphite pencil till I shaded the whole hair on a lighter note and blended the shades with my soft tissue paper until the drawing appeared as smooth as possible.
(Step 5).
At this stage, the main job had been done already,
I had shaded all the parts of the neck and the body part left below, made the shading with my same 9B graphite pencil, I used my 9B pencil in shading and giving some details in the body part below, then I later used my 4B pencil in giving some details in the hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and the necklace until it appeared a little bit attractive.
(Step 6).
The master piece above was made by @tezzmax himself, I used mostly, my eraser at this stage, I used my eraser in giving details in almost all the parts of the drawing. I also used my 4B charcoal pencil in shading the nose holes, the hair, the mouth and the necklace just to make it appear more darker, while I blended the shades with my soft tissue paper and finishing it all was when I used my eraser to erase all the unwanted shades from every parts of the drawing and the above picture was what I could get after I had done all these I said!
