Strokes of ink for the muse

in hive-185836 •  3 years ago  (edited)

Hey guys, so I've been working on this piece for quite awhile now. Let's just say "quite awhile" is 1 month and a week yeah. That sounds safe.

Title: Untitled
Medium: ballpen, HB pencil, paper and eraser
Size: 13* 12
Technique (s) : cross hatching and scribbling

I left it as untitled because I had a wide range of titles to choose from in my head but I couldn't make a decision cos they all sounded awesome.. like the title of this post😏

Anyways, before I leave you with the WIP pics, let me share a little tip on ballpen drawing; if you're cross hatching, hatch with broken strokes and not continuous strokes to deliver a neat job.

I use the pen and I'm wrong and you do a wonder, I loved this muse, her features on her face, uhm when I try to draw something with a pen I did it backwards, thanks for your advice it makes sense, but I think despair doesn't makes you think for wanting to finish quickly!

Excellent drawing friend I loved it.

Successes and Blessings.

I really appreciate the kind words, I'm glad that you love it ..
You're right about the "despair", I've been in that position a couple of times, somehow I keep giving myself reasons to bounce back. I guess when the goal seems realistic( as in, something that is achievable by you at your present stage), it would be difficult for despair to have a grip on you.
