Contest alert- All in one contest W23: pencil drawing of pennywise

Greetings to everyone, and it's nice to be here again with you all once again. Every artwork I create is a reflection of a moment, a mood, or a challenge I set for myself. For this contest titled "Contest Alert—All in One Contest W23," I decided to challenge myself by sketching Pennywise, a character known not just for horror but for the deep psychological fear he represents. Instead of aiming for a perfect or polished look, I focused on creating a raw pencil sketch that captures his unsettling presence and sharp expression. This made the drawing both exciting and demanding, as I wanted the sketch to feel intense, expressive, and alive. Below is how I made the drawing; stay tuned.

Drawing items

• A4 paper

• graphite pencil

• HB pencil

• 4B and 6B pencil

• charcoal pencil

• black pen

• eraser

• sharpener

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1

I began with a light pencil, outlining the face structure and placing the eyes carefully, knowing that Pennywise’s eyes are the soul of his terror. They needed to look intense, almost as if they were staring directly into the viewer’s mind.

Step 2

Once the proportions felt right, I slowly darkened the key areas, especially around the eyes, nose, and mouth, where his menacing expression truly lives.

Step 3

Next was shading. Shading was handled patiently and with control. I layered graphite slowly, blending softly in areas like the cheeks and forehead, while keeping the shadows under the eyes, nose, and mouth bold and dramatic. I avoided over-blending because I wanted the pencil marks to remain visible, giving the artwork a raw and honest feel.

Step 4

In this step, I gradually created his rough clothing, which he normally wears around his neck, then I also inserted my username.

Step 5

Finally, I made small corrections, added details, and refined the entire drawing, and finally my drawing was finally complete.

My selfie with my drawing

This sketch reminded me of why I love pencil art. With just graphite and paper, it is possible to express fear, emotion, and character in a powerful way. The simplicity of the medium forces focus on fundamentals like light, shadow, and expression, which are essential to strong artwork. I am happy to present this piece for this contest and to share my creative journey with this community. I hope you all liked my drawing, and bye for now.
