Art Entry for "Learn To Draw With Friends" Contest.

Hello there
This is my attempt for the "Learn To Draw With Friends" Contest by @tonyr.
The link to the contest is shown below:

https://steemit.com/art/@tonyr/learn-to-draw-with-friends-is-back-week-three-35-sbd-prize-pool-and-everyone-is-invited

Essentially, tonyr provided 3 pictures in the contest link (along with the image credits).
I am still relatively new to Steemit and found the idea of a art contest to be quite interesting, hence I decided to participate in the contest.
I chose the Penguin option (referring to the picture shown in the link above), and below is my attempt (the drawing was completed with a pencil).

For those of you who are interested in the process of how I drew it, please see below some pictures and some brief descriptions:

To start off, I began with a rough sketch of the outline of the Penguin.

Once the rough outline is there, I begin to add some shades to the drawing.

It is more or less half done at this point.
In my opinion, the eyes are generally the most important part of the drawing and I try to leave that for last in terms of fine toning the drawing.

And then the completed drawing:

Let me know if you prefer a more detailed description or fewer/more pictures going forward

Thanks for your time and have a great day!

Thanks swayamgandhi!

Thank you so much for taking the time to enter my little contest @apprentice001 and please forgive me for being so late to comment, I have not been feeling too well I'm afraid.

This is a fantastic process post and exactly the type of thing I was looking for in organising the contest. :)

I really like the shadowing under the feet. Gives it a lot of depth.:)

A very warm welcome to steemit also my friend! i hope you have enjoyed your time so far.

Have an excellent day!

Thanks tonyr for your kind words.

You captured all of the adorableness :D
