✿ Week 8 - Sketching a realistic portrait ✿

    For this week's artwork, it is a realistic portrait of a person. In my work, I used a reference with the medium of Prismacolor premier pencils for the coloring and black acrylic paint for the simple background on a smooth Vellum board.  It was a fun activity to do for a change of style and a change of pace as there are no classes. 

    Here are different angles of the drawing under simple lighting to try to show off the details. Overall, I'm quite proud of this piece and had fun doing the coloring process and exercise the lessons I learned from the previous meetings.

 

    Here are also a few more practices of portraits of my special person :> I used Koi watercolors and unipin pens (sized 0.1 and 0.05) here on my other sketchbook and practiced lighting. It was a blast to do since it was more of me, experimenting my coloring and my techniques on a medium that I haven't fully mastered so that was fun too! Plus, it was my special person after all :> The last work was done on a sticky note, which surprisingly held nicely for watercolor as an art medium.

Thank you and enjoy~
