Hello Steemians
I am really grateful and thankful for the support on my entries into the "Learn To Draw With Friends" Art Contest by @tonyr, the link to the contest is shown below:
https://steemit.com/ltdwf/@tonyr/learn-to-draw-with-friends-week-five-ltdwf-45-sbd-in-prizes-to-be-won
For those who are not familiar with it:
Essentially, tonyr provides 3 pictures in the contest link (along with the image credits). There are Amazing Art works on the contest, and you can either submit one of your drawings or vote on other participants' drawings.
I have attempted the option "Streetfighter!!" (referring to the picture shown in the link above) as my first entry and submitted my entry a few days ago, and created a post:
https://steemit.com/ltdwf/@apprentice001/street-fighter-ryu-is-ready-to-learn-to-draw-with-friends
I chose initially to focus on the top portion of the reference image for my entry attempt because I wanted to capture the intensity of Ryu's expression. The top portion drawing took longer than I had expected, because of all the details required. I submitted the drawing and received some positive feedback and I'm very thankful for the support.
And now because of the support, I decided to try out the bottom portion of the reference image. I enjoy drawing (Ryu is one of my favorite Street Fighter characters) and this is just for completeness and fun as I have already submitted my entry.
Below is the drawing attempt of the bottom portion of the reference image.
Bottom Portion:
Top Portion:
And when the two Portions are combined:
Here are some close up of my drawing attempt:
DRAWING PROCESS (ANIMATED)
This is an animated gif of the drawing process for both portions.
Below are some main progress pictures.
For the top portion:
To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil
Once the rough sketch is there, I would incorporate the shading and some fine tuning.
Once the normal pencil drawing is done, I start adding some colour.
And this is it.
For the bottom portion:
To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil
Once the rough sketch is there, I would incorporate the shading.
And then the fine tuning process begins
And this is it
And Combined (Combined Size is an A3 paper - 420 x 297 mm):
I did create a detailed post of how to draw the top portion, let me know if you would like to see a post detailing the process of drawing the bottom portion.

Thanks for your time and have a great day!
I love your drawing! I appreciate it coz I love street fighter and I used to have a crush on Ryu. :)
Thank you very much @pinaynomad! Glad you like it. Have a great day!
Love it - your shading is wonderful. I also wish I would make more step-by-step pics as I go - get caught up in the "zone" and forget to stop! Do you ever find that?
Thanks you @granblock for your kind words! I understand that, I also do get caught up in the 'zone' sometimes and forget to stop. However, perhaps because I can only make limited time to draw per day, I generally have to stop once my allocated drawing time for the day is up and it allows me to create more step-by-step process pics. Have an awesome day!
you really have great skills .... i love it.
Thank you very much @arkaprava! Have a great day!
