Hello friends,
It's been a wonderful week for me, i hope you all are having a wonderful time as i am. I can't seem to miss this weeks splinterlands art contest as i have prepared a beautiful graphite drawing for the contest already. I would be sharing with you all a graphite drawing i did of the splinterlands character Giant Squid. Which i love the way it was expressed, it has a king of gruesome face, like its waiting to devour someone or something. Giant Squid are no doubt dangerous and deadly with there large and long tentacles.

• Reference
  
  Giant Squid

Above is the reference of the image the essence of making this drawing is not to drawing out the character i whole but to make an impression of the character itself which i happened to find interesting. Drawing has become like an addiction for me I've always wanted to do something like this. I did the rough sketch using a 2B pencil at first to get a sketch look of the image in question be for diving in with my heavy gun (10B Bianyo pencil).

You may wonder why a 10B pencil well it just darker and easier to control plus i love the texture it gives my art works. So after the sketch i used my 10B pencil on the image starting from the eyes. Note that the rough sketch is not permanent so you can change any things when you begin. I did the eyes some tentacles the whole head and completed the image it was supposed to be a quick one though but it took some time to fit in the details. I had so much fun making this drawing gained more experience and I'm happy i can be part of this weeks contest. You can find the procedure of my drawing below and also feel free to drop your comments I would love to read and reply them all.
