This week there is no theme, so i wanted to draw what i like the most, i like tattoos very much, although i do not do them very often. i like to illustrate tattooed people, they look great and it's a lot of fun.
This is my entry to the contest hosted by @juliakponsford ART EXPLOSION WEEK
I made the initial sketch and highlighted her eyelashes, her eyes are closed so it was not very difficult.
Then i began to illustrate his face, although the eyelashes look like falses, when we give life to the face everything can change.
I skipped a few steps because while i was illustrating the face, i forgot to photograph the process, but i can summarize that i used the HB pencil to do it and with the brush i softened his face.
I finally learned to make light hair thanks to a new technique. It consists of doing hair traces with a pen without ink, to mark the paper, then with graphite powder or with the charcoal illustrate the hair, in the light hair i shaded a bit with the charcoal pencil and diffused with the brush, this is a wonder the hair was great!
You notice how different the hair looks?
This made me very happy, now, i can do light hair without any problem!
I detailed the hair a little more to make the texture.
Then i illustrated the hand and part of the body with the HB pencil and shaded with graphite powder.
I illustrated the shirt, giving volume and shaded with graphite powder, softened the skin with a piece of tissue and cotton, but i think the texture of the paper did not soften it completely making it look a little rough.
With the charcoal pencil i made the thick lines to mark the tattoo.
Finally i illustrated his left arm with charcoal, it is the darkest area, i softened with the diffuser and brush. And this is The Final Art.:
I want to thank you very much for your support, you are the best of the best!
I hope you liked it a lot, this is a very funny piece.
Until the next time!!
