SKETCH #1

I Sketched a girl with mix features from different people. Sketching requires patience and the creativity of the mind; also the observation skills of one's eyes. The essence of art is not all about skills and accuracy but in terms of creativity and expressing your emotions through your pencil and paper.

STEP #1:
Draw an outline, starting from the eyes. But it differs from artists on which part to start; so for me it's the eyes. Then following the outline of the nose,lips and the face/jawline and chin. Then I outlined the hair, neck, shoulders and arm.

STEP #2:

Highlight the outline with a thicker pencil/charcoal pencil.

STEP #3:
Add shade and smoothen the lines of the drawing, Do a bit of correction/erase the messy parts and there you have it!!!
