Hello Everyone, back at it with another drawing, this time I drew one of Nigerian visual artist Olaolu Slawn, In 2023, he became the youngest person to design the Britannia statuette for the annual BRIT awards. Did this drawing with a yellow watercolor wash on my paper and used red ink.

Would be sharing my steps and process below.

Can you explain what the mixed media is you used? I see paper and one pen. Is there anything else?

How come your pen doesn't leak unlike the different ones I tried?

I changed your label.
Good luck and keep showing the process.

The yellow paper was a water color wash.
you can try using Bic pen.
Thanks Appriciate 👍

I did but my Bic also leaks. I will see if I find some others.

sorry forgot to tell you to constantly wipe them with napkins or tissue to avoid those bleeds, you can message me directly on X @rashidizy1 for futher assistance if needed
