Dominicque's Sketchbook

[Dominicque]

Awesome updates!  The most recent one with the 'pearl' earring is very well done, especially the folds.  Some nice use of values and lighting there, keep it up!

Thank you, I spent a couple of days on this and outside of wanting to draw a beautiful guy  , the values were the main thing I was trying to focus on. 

I drew a thing for the Authority fandom, I bought new acrylic markers and really wanted to try them out, but I was worried I'd ruin the work, therefore I make sure to scan the pencil work first. I then tried them out, it took awhile to get started out and comfortable, but 'Trust the process', adding pencils and pen liner really helped. Really love how it turned out, especially the 2nd and 4th panel.




Really wanted to try and complete a portrait using them, but got really frustrated. I draw some lips from another and decided to break in my Strathmore mixed media sketchbook and really tried to get the correct proportions. I took my time and used the confidence of thicker paper to make multiple layers where I needed to, and adjusted with coloured pencil. I didn't get the accuracy of great likeness, but I do like the style I was able to produce. Getting a consistent and lifelike skin tone is the hardest. Here's the OG Picture:  Pin page
