Good day, today I'm showing you the drawing I made for the creator @dunja on the social network X.
Upon meeting her, the desire to draw her arose, and she accepted the proposal. I was struck by her charisma, joy, dynamism, and bewitching aesthetic. She is an artist who loves and creates NFTs and loves it when other creators immortalize her as a work of art (whether they paint or draw her). She is a character from fantasy stories, and she sent me three photos so I could choose one to draw.
First, I gave her a sketch to keep my word of drawing her, and a week later I started working on the drawing I'm showing you today.

To make the drawing, I used:
Paso a paso/Step by step 🎨
First, I made a grid so that the drawing would be similar to the reference. I made the structural strokes light so I could make corrections and avoid smudges in case I made a mistake.
After making corrections on the head and sketching the model in just lines, I drew the hair in green and began adding mid-tone values with the 4B pencil to different areas of the clothing and the hat.
I began darkening areas with the 8B and 6B pencils, in addition to coloring the lips red to create a high contrast between the complementary colors green and red, and between these and the predominant tonal values in the rest of the drawing.
I continued working with the 6B and 8B pencils on the shorts, but I took quite a while doing the complex design of the bandana that's on top of the shorts. To do it, I drew a similar design using only lines, and then I drew the dark parts while leaving the design blank. Normally, you draw everything dark and then draw the design with an electric eraser. It's also more complex to do because the paper is very small; on a larger sheet, it would be better to do the complex design.
The BLACKOUT also accompanied me to demotivate me. 🕯
In this stage of the drawing, I darkened the color of the hair and the lips, as well as adding the details of the blouse and highlighting the eyelashes.
To conclude, I retouched the hair details, the textures, and the mid-tone and low-tone values on the clothing, as well as slightly retouching the skin tones with the dry brush. I drew the background with the B pencil and spread the tone with the dry brush.

Edudokia really liked the drawing and I felt very good. I still have strength to draw 😅. I have a lot to learn but without a doubt, I loved drawing her. Even though I must improve to feel satisfied, I remembered old times as a bohemian artist ❤️. Thank you for appreciating the drawing and have a good day 🎨
