My drawing journey – from a simple sketch to a beautiful portrait

Today I'm sharing with you all a new sketch of mine, in which I've tried to display the trip from a simple line drawing to a full sketch. It is n't precisely a illustration but a full procedure, involving patience, rehearsal and imaginative thinking.

At first I just formed a light figure. The most consequential thing at this stage is to learn the outline of the face right, as this forms the base of the entire sketch.

Gradationally I outlined the contours of the face, similar as the shape of the nose, lips and chin.

After that I started styling the hair. When creating the hair I tried to form it appear natural, so I used soft and light lines. Showing the directive and inflow of the hair was an important step, which brought the image to life.

When the basic outline was complete, I worked out on the particulars of the face, specifically the eyes.

Creating closed eyes created a sensation of calm and beauty in the image. I also did some light shading to form the image appear more pragmatic.

Finally I finalized the neck and the dress and offered the final touch to the entire sketch.

The most important thing throughout this process was thickness and patience. At each stage I picked up from my mistakes and tried to improve the sketch.

What did I learn?

• Simple lines can form beautiful art
• Patience and practice are key
• Every short detail makes the photo unique

I hope you like this sketch of mine and its journey.However, be sure to practice a little every day, because enhancement comes with time, If you're alike interested in art.
