This Week's Theme for the 'Drawing Challenge' by @helene is:
'draw a portrait of a child (only used by pencil)'
This is quite an unique theme for an art contest.
See below my entry. I drew with a pencil as the contest stated that only pencil can be used
Hope that it came out okay.
portrait of a child
This may look like a grown up, but she is actually a child. I tried to draw a sketch of "Kristina Pimenova". Hope it came out okay. Her eyes are quite unique and makes her look more grown up.
As the contest requires that I include my username in it, I have included it. Can you spot it?
These are the pencils that I used
An HB and a 6B pencil and an eraser.
Here is an animated gif of the drawing process
portrait of a child
Here are the step-by-step process of how I created the drawing
To start off, I began a rough sketch of the child
Then I drew more detail
Adding shading mainly with the cross-hatching technique
Then smoothing the shading to make it look more realistic
fine tuning the hair and the drawing
And this is it
Thanks for reading my post and hope that you like it.
