Step-by-step drawing of girl's face

in art •  6 years ago  (edited)

Academic school of drawing and painting involves working on formats not less than A3. But I don't always have the opportunity to paint on such a big paper at home. We have to use what we have, sometimes very small pieces of paper. Then to my rescue comes in a slim mechanical pencil whose thickness of the line is very thin and of constant thickness.

Here's a portrait I painted in stages, using my favorite mesh shading. On images well seen as I started, as continued to paint and how to finish.

I will be glad to any comments!










Paper, pencil, dimensions 10x7 cm

Хорошо получилось - чувственно.

Торопился немного. Можно было деталям больше внимания, конечно : )

Куда уж детальнее.

Отлично!
Вот чему стоит поучиться новоявленным рисовальщикам "портретов"-фотографий...

Спасибо : ). Так непривычно рисовать на маленьких листочках. Приходится привыкать. Это я на работе иногда. Там бывает загрузки нет и я рисую. Начальство не против, и мне хорошо

Lovely! I like to do postcard size or miniatures when I draw and I love that I can finish the small size in one sitting. (patience has never been a strong trait for me, haha!)

I really like your shading. What makes you prefer the hatching or mesh to other techniques?

Ha-ha! I would not say that you do not have enough patience for creativity! Judging by how many instruments you can play : ))))) Looking back at my life, I would say that I have no patience at all, because for several years in a row I was rubbing my fingers on guitar strings and not so well learned to play.
And as for the preference in shading (hard cross-hatching), it's simply because I have worked with folk crafts for many years. There is a very important to do precise and accurate strokes, moving of brush. From there, I have a clear understanding and ability to stroke the line to the line.

Well I suppose patience is relative. I usually say I don’t have much patience because I tend to expect immediate or fast results. Art is not fast (I get away with music thanks to a God-given natural aptitude and being raised in a family of musicians), I find if a piece isn’t turning out like I want, I’d rather abandon it instead of diligently keeping at it.

Folk crafts are awesome! The skills transfer nicely. 🙂

wow, you can also say : step by step doing wonders.. :)

Thanks a lot, @infotainmenthub ; ))
