Good day to you all.
As my contribution to the Hive Learners Creative Sunday and my love for art and drawings, I decided to participate in the week's art and sketch initiative.
This is an artwork. I should call it penwork. Most art and sketches are made using pencils, but I have decided to step up my game and use a pen for all my drawings.
You can only define a true artist when they can come up with an artwork out of anything and not just so dependent on certain materials. The advantage of using a pencil over a pen is that it can be easily erased. But as for pens, once you make a mistake then you have to start over again.
Let’s journey on how I get to draw my artwork
TOOLS
- PEN
- DRAWING BOOK
STEP BY STEP
STEP 1: Freethinking and Kickstarting
The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring art out, but I had no idea what art could look like. I just have to make sure I bring something meaningful out of it.
This week I have decided to come up with something relating to the hive Learners. And the best thing to recreate an artwork with is the logo of the community. I don't know why but I find it so attractive.
STEP 2: Sketching
The next step after getting the tools was to sketch, and sketching is always done to avoid mistakes. Make a light appearance of how you want the artwork to look like. And if there should be any necessary corrections then it would be way easier to amend.
At this stage, I had to sketch the book 📕. Then to the hive logo itself, and then the hive learners word art, then extended to the structure that held the logo, then finally the walls behind.
STEP 3: Value Addition
After making a perfect sketch, I thought of adding something to the logo, so it wouldn't be the logo all alone. Might not be worth it as I needed to be creative about my art. So I wanted to draw a vase at first, then I had a change of mind to make it appear like a sculptured art on a wall. I felt that gave a nicer look than just a vase growing a logo out of it. Sounds somewhat weird.
STEP 4: Tracing
Tracing is all about giving a proper and clearer view from a sketch. When you trace it gives the final chance to make changes and corrections to the artwork.
I started by tracing the book,, and then the hive logo and the word art. That’s more of what it takes to get the artwork done. From the sketch, I made sure I corrected some of the parts I made mistakes after the review.
STEP 5: Final touch
Giving it a final touch makes the art more incredible. This is where I had to give the arts some design. I sketched the bricks which gave it the final and lively appearance. It wasn't easy getting a point that worked well for the view. But I gave my best.
STEP 6: Shading
After all, I got to shade and shadow it. This was to give it a better life appearance from angles.
FINALLY, MY ARTWORK IS COMPLETED

You welcome sir
Thank you brother for the wonderful artwork.
When you do something with a pen, it is undoubtedly a very difficult task because once you make a mistake, there is no chance to correct it. I clearly understood that it was quite difficult to do the job. I expect such wonderful works from you.
Yeah. I am just trying to to be perfect with it. And doing my best. Thanks for the encouragement
