Drawing Process

Now let me share to you the lengthy drawing process. Yes, it was a long tiring journey that took me more than five hours, but it was all worth it.

First, I draw the outline of the subject using an ordinary pencil. I didn’t apply so much pressure on it that is why the picture seems blank. In this step, proportion and shape are the most important factors because if we dont have accuracy of the proportion and shape we will surely have a problem with the final outcome.

After having the initial sketch of the outline, I grabbed my color pencils and look for the colors that I would use. Again, I used Prismacolor Pencils for this art. The goal for this step was to create the upper-right part of the hood. I started on that section since I am a right-handed person and I want to avoid touching the colored sections as much as possible.

Then, I started working on the hair and the right-half of the uncovered face. In doing the skintone, I selected and used first the lighter shade before working on the dark shades of the face.

Then, I started working on the second-half of the hood and some parts of the hair. This is how it looks before adding the black color which gives a realistic picture of the artwork.

After the initial coloring of the second-half of the hood, I added black color. Then blend it with the red and orange to create a realistic picture.

Then, I added a highlight color for the hair which is a lavender. It give a beautiful effect on the hair. Also, I made adjustments with the current image including the completion of the last part of the hair.

After that, I finished the last part of the hood. I hope you dont mind the disorganized colorpencils beside the sketchpad.

Then, I started working on the bottom-left part of the drawing . I used the same colors in the hood however, there are plenty dark (black) parts than those on the upper part simply because the light seem to be on top of subject.

Then, I continued by drawing and coloring the hands of subject. I used skintone colors to make the hands appear realistic.

Then, I continued drawing the other hand. And some parts of the clothing.

Then, I finished the last part of the clothing and made final corrections and adjustments in the whole drawing.

Finally, here’s the final output! Enjoy!
