Greetings everyone, I would like to introduce my art blogging series. During the 2020 curfew, I devoted my time to practicing portrait drawing, which I believe has been instrumental in my ability to consistently produce creative content on a daily basis on the steem.
As a newcomer to the hive, I have plans to create a portrait of an active user. I would greatly appreciate your suggestions on whose picture to draw, as I believe this approach will help me gain followers - something I am in need of at the moment. 😅
Drawing my friend's portrait was an amazing experience that allowed me to capture a special moment in time and create a lasting memory. It was challenging, but also incredibly rewarding, and I can't wait to do it again. If you are an artist or simply someone who loves portraits, I highly recommend taking the time to create a portrait of someone you care about - it's an experience you won't forget.
I started by selecting a photo of my friend that I thought would make for a great portrait. After studying the photo for a while, I began sketching out the basic outlines and proportions of her face. I started with the eyes, as I believe they are the most important part of a portrait - they are what convey the emotion and personality of the subject.
Firstly, I started by selecting the right materials and tools. I opted to use my iPad and the Procreate app, which allowed me to work digitally and make changes as I went along. I also made sure to have reference photos of my friend handy to use as a guide while drawing.
In the end, I was proud of the final result - a portrait that truly captured my friend's unique qualities and personality. It was a meaningful and creative journey that allowed me to combine my passion for art with my appreciation for a dear friend.
