Portrait of Tita Faith | Colour Pencils πŸ–

in art β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

Hello, let me show you how I drew this portrait ⬇

I drew this months ago as a gift for Tita Faith's birthday. I finished it for 4 hours in 3 nights since I don't have time in the morning because I have classes and thesis making. So I only have the chance to draw her at night around 11pm.Β 

Materials used in this portrait:
Β·HB pencil (Staedler)
Β·Colour Pencil (Faber Castell Classic)
Β·Clay Eraser from Faber Castell
Β·Sketch Pad
Β·Sharpener
Β 

Let's proceed to the steps and see the progress of the portrait.Β 

Since I lost my photo of the outline, I'll give you a brief explanation on how outlining goes.Β 

1. I start with a light sketch/outline. In this way, I can easily erase it. (Outlining is very hard, it needs time and more practice to achieve same forms and shapes in the image you wished to draw.) I always start outlining from the eyes to eyebrows, face, nose, mouth then the hair. (Im comfortable in this way. You can follow or have your own techniques.)Β 

2. I make sure the pencils tip are sharp at all times. (Get a very good manual sharpener) Starting at the right is my first step, from the eyes to eyebrows then the skin. I lightly start laying the general tones of the skin carefully. I let the tip glide over the surface smoothly and making sure I don't push it hard to avoid large strokes.

3. For the lips, hair and darker areas I begin to bear down harder with the pencils to make darker pencil strokes. I make sure that It's the right time to shades those part as the strong lines are the most difficult to erase. And lastly, I used the eraser to make highlights.

The final drawing. (Original vs Drawing) 😊
(Im not a professional/expert in sketching/drawing. I'm still practicing.)Β 

Tita liked it and I hope you do 😍


What is my next drawing? Your comments/suggestions are highly appreciated.Β

Woe you're so talented, good work!

And so are you πŸ˜‰ Thank you.

Wow, this is a wonderful piece of art! Very impressive! I've always been a more black and white sketcher - so your work is very interesting to me !

Thank you so much 😍 Yes, for me colored pencils are way more easy to use than graphites/charcoals. I'm bad at it. Post some of your tutorials, I'm willing to learn 😊

I haven't drawn in quite some time but would love to get back into it! Thank you for the inspiration !!
