So guys in todays episode i will like to take you on how i spent my day.i have been meaning to share my diary since yesterday but i couldn't because my I'm not done with this masterpiece, so today i decided to share it today at list this will be a makeup of the one i don't post early,
Guys guest what ,i recently completed this 🎨 artwork here ,this time i tried to create a simple pencil portrait of burnaboy one of our Nigeria singer and hmmm surprise this is one of my best masterpiece ,i finally finished this drawing in different stages highlighting the braids,the cap and the facial features. I completed it guys ,and im going to share with you step by step from start to finish and each stages i added a little more details.
what inspired me
I love doing facial structure, especially when it comes to highlighting of the head such as the eyes, cap and some facial expressions with a simple pencil. With this inspiration i decided to made this masterpiece and tried to complete each stages in the drawings styled
Stages:1- based on the face.
First i create a simple outline of the face with pencil, then the outline of the head, jaw and neck with a light hand so the rest of the face details can be applied leter according to the same sketch
Stages :2-i sketch the cap
Next i made the basic shape of the cap on top of the head
In the next step i completed the outline of the ears on one side and make a small round earrings in it .this step made the overall look of the portrait standout.
Stages :3-face details
Then i started working on the main face,eyes, eyebrows, nose and 💋 lips all drawn and placed according to the sketch made earlier
Stages:4- outline of the dress in this stage i added the basic lines of the dress below the neck.this not only limited the portrait to the face but also involve the upper body
Stages :5- final details and shading
Finally i added more fine lines to the eyes,nose ,lips,and the cap. Light shading was also done in some place toadd depth to the face and the cap.thus this turned into a complete pencil portrait
my experience
While creating this masterpiece i was most interested and excited in working on the facial details and the cloth,cap in the early stage the picture became clearer and clean.not that easy but i made a masterpiece.
