"Thoughtful"-Pencil portrait of Nicole

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey everyone,

So a few weeks ago, I participated in a photography/photo-manipulation workshop in which I created this image:

The photo was actually based on a sketch that I had made a few days previous. (I don't have it on hand right now, but will add it to the post soon).

I really liked the photo and so decided to make a pencil drawing of it.

Here are the progress pics.

These are the basic sketched outlined:

Then, adding block-ins:

The tools I used consisted of an HB pencil, a minuscule 3B pencil and an eraser.

Adding details:

And here is the finished drawing:

I sadly have no access to a scanner right now, so the quality isn't the best, but I will add a better quality reproduction of the drawing as soon as I can. I also took the photo of the finished drawing previous to signing it so it is not there, but will be present on the scanned version.

Thank you for reading, I wish you all a beautiful day/evening!

@creadordelfuturo,

Hey, thanks so much, very kind!! :)

So much talent. OMG

@prakashgai,

That's very sweet of you, thank you so much! :D

Ur welcome ☺

I love how you did the hair! And of course, hands - I can't fo- shit.

Thank you my dear, yeah hands used to be my nightmare, but now I actually enjoy them. Hair I hate though, ain't nobody got time for that, I could of added more details to it but I gave up half way through haha.

I'm just always scared of ruining it since it's a traditional pencil drawing, so I just don't want to continue it. Hence I prefer drawing digitally :)

Yeah I feel you, the constant struggle. Drawing digitally is pretty awesome for that. I'm never happy with my digital stuff though.

Why not?

I don't know, I guess I just don't have the same feel for it. But I'm going to try! :D

YISS TRY! I'd like to see it.
