Welcome to Mars

I think I love portraiture. I dream of a world of faces. And this is only but a tiny planet in my Universe.

So yesterday I met a beautiful little girl from on here @theartofjordan_ and I just had to try to sketch her. It's not up to my standard but I just need to practice more squash and stretch portraits. I just need more practice overall. But that's no problem for me. To all my new followers welcome and thank you, you are much appreciated. Thank you all for the support.... NB: I'll be absent from Social Media for a week...after that I'll be back...fresh and brand new and I'll have so much more art to share. Stay safe and God bless you. ❤❤❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrhBqXurhN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning I don't feel like drawing digitally today so how about a doodle I did sometime ago and didn't post it... https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpNwTHOzPM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi everyone! Had a lot of chores today...Here's today's quick sketch. If you want to take art seriously I personally think it's important to try to draw everyday. Just start with a single line. Atleast that's what I try to do. . . . https://www.instagram.com/p/ChNsharPzXw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello guys...Today I didn't want to sketch a face or draw really so I decided to do an eye...swipe to see more eyedrawings. The last one is the first one I did actually then I loved it so much I did the green one and then I got inspired and decorated the red one. I don't want my sketches to be just tight faces anymore. I want them to be outlandish other worldly in a good way. Expressive and just beautiful to me. Expressing emotions and emotional attachments. Tell me in the comments what you think of these eyes. #art #artwork #eyeart #eyedrawing #illustration #pencilcrayon #crayonillustration #eyeillustration #humaneyeillustration #greeneyes #redeyes #autumneye #springeye #spring #springart #autumnart #autumn #eyepractice #illustrationdrawing #sketch #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnCT7QPFiw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As promised this is my sketch of Loish. I think her face is very unique. I realized she looks like her artwork a whole lot. It's like her characters are her children. I wanted to make the attempts to draw her more realistic but I was really nervous and so this is what was born of it. The first attempt was very cartoony, which was not my intention, the second I did a lot of rubbing because of the angle. The last one I gave my best shot by just simply letting go. The green one is my favorite and the blue one my second favorite. All the references I used to make these sketches were shots taken from her tutorial videos where she was talking and moving a lot. In future I want to do something more realistic of her face. What do you guy's think of my sketches?

This is my first commission and my first attempt to realisticish portrait ever. And so far I hate it. 😒 My advice to anyone who's planning on shading a portrait is to do your research. So while I was in the midst of finishing my drawing I thought 👌🏽 wow just beautiful. My laptop was open. I had the lady's reference photo up and I was watching a tutorial on how to draw locks until that ended. Then I proceeded to draw again. So I left YouTube running only to hear some random audio from an experts video saying put your reference photo to grayscale. I'm like oh Gosh why did I not think of that 😩 😭 😫 ??? Anyways, my drawing was already ruined 😔 😪 🙃 and that's when I got the advice. Afterwards 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. And yes I got frustrated because all the reasons he gave for doing so and what can happen if I don't had already manifested. Guys I worked so hard.

After I realized that what I thought was beautiful was actually not proper shading, I also started to notice how fat I made the lady's neck 😳. Her neck really doesn't look like that. So in attempt to fix it I ended up with something else but that's for another. Thank you God for revealing the secret of portraiture shading to me, thank you.

PS: I'll show you the image of when I do the actual do over which is gonna be epic because I believe in myself! . But that's for later. Thanks again

So here I am so far on my work in progress am about the start the locks. This is gonna be great! Have a great day everyone!

Good day everyone. So currently I'm working on a portrait for a lady. And drawing faces is my favorite thing to do but today I feel threatened by the size of this work 😅. This caused me to procrastinate a bit before I started my work. But I like that I'm learning new things about me everyday. So next time I'll tackle my shyness better. But that's fine I do believe in myself, so I'm sure it's going to turn out how I want it . I'll try to keep posting the progression as I go along or maybe just the finished piece.
