Hello y'all, hope you had a great Sunday, anyways, I had a dope Sunday
My smile is as wide as my Muse's smile😅
I'd like to share my new art with you, my friend was my muse. I found this picture of him smiling and I could already imagine how it'd be if I drew it, the smile of a black person is really beautiful.
I felt so captivated by the picture that I considered doing more drawings of black people smiling, there's something about the vibrance that I can't put into words but let me just take you through the details of the drawing.
Title: Black with a Bright smile
Size: 14 * 16
Materials: graphite pencils ( 4b, 6b, 8b, 12b) for the skin
Charcoal pencil for hair and background, kneaded eraser for highlights.
Duration: 10 hrs
Below are my work in progress pics
I usually start with an accurate sketch of my reference, with the aid of grid drawing maker I apply grid lines to the picture to aid accuracy. I'll share more on the app in a later post, just leave a comment if you need me to drop it soon.
My techniques are scribbling, cross hatching and hatching.
I scribble mostly when I'm working on the hair, after creating a layer with graphite powder, I make scribble marks with the charcoal pencil. Gives it some realistic look
I cross hatch and hatch on the skin, it depends on my rhythm and the texture and values I have to replicate on the surface, sometimes I scribble on the skin to create details.
Last pic, I'm really proud of this piece, it gave me the idea to work on a collection of art pieces that point at this particular topic, I hope I can make it happen.
That'll be all for now, thanks for checking my art out, hope you like what you see. Tell me what you think in the comments.

Incredible! Such a talented artist 😀 I like the way you have started from the upper left and it’s looks like it is done very smoothly.

Thank you very much.
You're a very good observer, you'd make an awesome detective. I do start from the left cos I'm right handed and my hand hardly rest on the left so I don't stain the surface while working.
It amazes me how well some people can draw. I have a 12-year-old niece that is very good at drawing. If my life depended on it, I could not do what you did here.
Lol.. thanks, you're hilarious.
Your niece is incredible, at 12?!..
I'm not sure I was good at 12..
