Almost a year ago, I was doing a series of quicker sketches of different people and I decided to do a sketch of model @simeonedawndk - She actually liked it and I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a more detailed drawing of her at some point. Recently, she posted a photo taken by photographer @gmh__photography and I was especially taken by the lighting and the rich color, so I kept it in mind for the future. One really late night last week, I had pulled an all nighter working at a computer and decided to do a new, quick sketch before bed. I grabbed a 4H @staedtlermars graphite pencil and sketched out this drawing before bed. I thought about it and decided it’d be criminal not to at least try it in color... So, the next day, I erased the pencil and went in with colored pencils. I actually really like how it turned out! (Which almost never happens). And funny thing... I drew the entire thing with the pad situated vertically 😉 Swipe left to see a short time lapse of some of the drawing in progress. . . . . . . . . . #simonedawn #coloredpencil #fabercastell #simonedawndk #sand #beach #sketch #motmodels #wcw #draw #drawing #freehand #gallery #instaart #artcollective #artnerd #simonedekock #simonedawndekock #icegenetics #beautiful #pencil #inspiration #portrait #pencildrawing #timelapse #originalart #realism #photorealism #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/p/BpnBRDfhLmS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iabpf3a0rd95
