Hello friends.

Greetings to your you all. I am so pleased to be bringing to you this week. Some interesting drawings which withholds with this weeks engagement. It's been a great journey and I enjoyed all the activities and during lessons so far. So unfortunately it is the last week of our drawing session and I want to use this opportunity to thank Prof @jesusnunez for taking out his time to teach us us the various techniques use in pencil drawing. Your work is well Much appreciated sir.

In this week's challenge, we were tasked to draw the portrait. As usual, there are some principal guidelines we need to follow, so come out with every unique design in drawing. So important it is wise enough to follow this to achieve the required results. For this activity, I use the following apparatus.

• An Eraser
• two pencils, 2B and 4B pencil ✏️
• A ruler 📏

These are the following steps I was able to use to come out with my portrait.

1. Marking out.

The most marking out is the most essential part of drawing as it give the structural backbone of the image to be drawn in question. This gives the desire precision of where key features are going to appear such as the mouth, the nose, the ears, eyes and so on. My structure begin with marking out with the headform.

This precision allocates the various positions in which the eyes, mouth, nose and ears will appear. From here we proceed to the next stage.

2. Precision.

I am going to be structuring the form for which eyes, the nose and the mouth will appear using the main hose, I was able to grab out some tactics and pumps in which I could achieve the results I wish to obtain on my portrait. In that aspect, I was able to pick out the various techniques so carve a good nose 👃 and mouth. Below is the structural application of our precision.

3. Carving out.

Using the form factors initially implanted for the mouth and the nose, we go ahead to carve out the structures to the desire shape. Care has to be taken in order to achieve good results. We first erased the portions which are unwanted and then proceed to carve out using the remaining part from our form. The results obtain are assertion below.

4. Eyes structure.

The eye structure is one of the most delicate parts of the drawing as it that look of a real image. At this stage, care has to be taken well enough to get the desire precision. In order to achieve the desire result, I first visited the main post, to check again the form factors for coming out with the eye structure. The 3 vertical strips and the one horizontal line max out the whole eye form from top to bottom, left to right, equally the center. From here, I applied the eyeballs and the lens as I have copied from the main post. I was able to obtain the following results.

To give a more profound look, I decide to do tentative eyebrows For the structure. The results are as seen on the image above.

5. Head from.

With all the key factors and features of the head in place, I proceed to do the head form. Choosing a head form for this, I decide to go for something more natural and cultural.

There's been a lot of image of straight hair, I decide to test something new this time. Curl hair for the black culture. In that aspect my head form is going to represent that of the black person. Nevertheless, not a point to tie on, My headphone takes the shape based on the initial features which are the eyes. The following results were obtained.

6. Head form continue

After finally thinking of what the rest of the face should look like, I decide to get to work and make it a reality carving with precision, it brought me today without us below. Some features like they have around the chin at temporary as this will be structured in the final image. This is just to give a guideline of how they portrait will look like by completion. However this still gives the Vibe we would love to see.

7. Body form.

Well coming up with the body form was not an easy task but however I was able to choose a body for my drawing. At this point, I was able to have some unique features on the body of which adjustments will be made before finalizing the portrait.

8. Finalization

This is the point where the magic has to be created. First, I start by readjusting some particular features like the eye sucker, To give them a more profound look, and then proceed to adjust the eyebrows, followed by applying a well-defined structure for the hair on the body and the head. After a series of adjustments and analyzing, I was able to produce the results as seen below

At this point my portrait is complete. It was an amazing task and I enjoyed it so much. I am still not the best, but as you know, it's a learning process and progress continues day by day. Hopefully we get to practice again in the next season. Thank you all for your time and attention and support equally to in advance. God bless you.
