My Soong Jong Ki Drawing
By: @christianyocte
Since my last drawing of Chanyeol of Exo I receive many requests that I will draw their favorite star or idol. I was very happy because they will of course pay for it. I only ask 500.00 for this drawing. However, I also give discounts to my friends (20% off) and students (20% off). Anyway, I am not really working when I do my creations, I am enjoying it.
Song Joong Ki is the fourth Korean idol I have drawn and shared here in Steemit. Clearly because Filipinos love KPop and KDrama, and Koreans in general. I know only very little about this Korean artist but I have also watched his very popular show entitled Decendants of the Sun which is a big hit here in the Philippines. Also, I have known in the news that he married his love-partner in that show in real life.
I want to give you more details about him so I took a screenshot from wikipedia.com about Song Joong Ki. And here it is:
However, I want this to appear as an art blog. So, I documented the drawing process. I made a GIF of it in case you don't prefer the lengthy process which you will see below this GIF:
| Process | Photo |
|---|---|
| Prepare the materials first. I used a pencil, colour pencils, vellum board, eraser and pencil sharpener. |  |
| Draw the outline of your subject using graphite pencils. Do not apply too much pressure when doing this for easy erasing |  |
| Draw the hair of Song Joong Ki. I am lucky enough that he has a simple hair style here. So, the begginerd can choose simple reference first before going to the complicated subject. |  |
| Draw the face. The most important thing that you have to consider is the skin. Use the appropriate colour pencils for the skin. I also suggest that you start with the light shade first. |  |
| Draw the ears and start with the neck. If you notice, the direction of my drawing is going down that is because I do not want to get my drawing messed up. |  |
| Let's continue doing the neck and the other ear. In drawing the neck I only did the base color here. I just want to know where the dark shades should fall. Do not mind the black spots or the dirt, the eraser can solve that. |  |
| Now we are on the shirt. I started by sketching where the folds of the shirt are. I used a light blue colour pencil. Anyway, it won't be visible later. |  |
| Then, you can use a light blue as base of the shirt. I filled everything with this light blue colored pencil before I worked on the dark blue shade |  |
| Breathe in, breathe out. We are now very close to the end of this artwork. I used the dark blue colour pencils now. Just be careful where the folds fall and the value of the color in different areas. Study your reference closely. |  |
| Finally, do some finishing touches. I usually update (hehe) the eyebrows, eyes, face and skin tone because they are very important. | |
I hope you learn something from the drawing process. I want to share what I know even if I have not gone any formal art training before. Like me, you can do it too if you first believe in yourself.
