Pen Portrait [01]
Although I might have a very weak or shallow foundation, I think I am partly ready to lose my fear and worries about ink or pen sketches.
If you know me, you know I never get tired of speaking about art from all angles.
I started with pencil and then went ahead to try digital pieces. I am not perfect in those areas mentioned, but lately, pen sketches have been giving me the chills.
I want to try this too, and perhaps weigh my options to know which I love best and would want to do the most.
And until I get a professional hand on this, I still self-learn as much as I can to improve on areas I am lacking.
I think I want to do this as much as I feared the messes I would make just starting.
I am not confident about how my first trial turned out, but I am not ashamed either.
They say the first try is usually not always the best and even a few couples of times. One thing I do know is that consistency can get anyone to where they wanna be.
I know I can be quite lazy at times, but I never lose focus on the things I love and am passionate about.
I am all in when it comes to art and I want to do my best to see that I give it the attention it needs and deserves.
Meanwhile, criticize this with love, I am just a beginner.
Boss @maxwellmarcusart what do you think? And why have you been ignoring my comments? 🙄😑😒

Nice, The way you have done the flow of your pen is wonderful 👍
Oh thank you!
You try.
But you still have a lot to learn.
Firstly, you will need to have a concise pattern of shading. Whenever you want to start drawing, first determine the style/technique that would be suitable for your model or you fell like using....could be scribble, hatching or cross hatching. Yours seems to be moving from vertical to to diagonal then to another pattern.
Secondly, I know you have improved in your proportion of recent, but you still need to improve more in order to achieve a realistic work.
Thirdly, you will need to get a tonal variation. That is where you will get the beauty of your work. Know where to palace your shades....core shadow, mod tone, and high light...also try to harmonize them in order to achieve the real beauty. You can browse "Tonal variation" online to learn more.
I also noticed you were trying to rush the work. Please don't. Just enjoy the process.
Will give you more tips whenever I enter Uyo if you are interested.
Lol, I probably didn't see your comment. Pardon me for that. I'm not used to ignoring people's comments.
Okay, I will check this out.
I was tired sha😂💔 so yes.
Okay, is that gonna be anytime soon? Or expecting you in years 😑😒
Lol, you get better result when you see it as fun rather than when you assume it as a work. Next time, when tired, it is better not to draw cause you would likely be going off😏
This is just your 01, by the time you reach 100, you would get a lot better if you take corrections and make adjustments.
Good luck.
Lol, that should be next month. But no date yet.
Okay, boss!
I will keep everything you said in mind and try to apply them
Meanwhile, do well to check the last comments I dropped for you.
I had a request there.
I can't find the past comment. Just mention me on it or you resend.
I mentioned you on it.🙄 On a post, That Dream Is... I think😑
Lol, I will check back sha😄
Good🙄😑
Seeing that you're a pro in drawing is making me want to go and awaken my 2% drawing traits.
Nice work👌
Dey play. Who is a pro?
The lady on your Shadow 🥳
