Well I finally got around to completing my first pencil drawing in over 5 years! Pencil drawings has been one of my very first loves, and is what got me into art in the first place. I started pencil drawings when I was only 10 years old. The past five years or so I kinda drifted away from them because I have gotten into vector illustrations, but now I'm finally wanting to get back into them! This drawing is of my little cousin Lily. I copied it from a photo using the
grid method. This took me about 3 hours. I also find that working for an hour, then taking a break and going back to it works best because it gives your eyes a break and makes it easier to find mistakes. Overall I am happy with it and want to continue developing my pencil skills in the future.
Here are two of my other pencil drawings that I did in the past. The first one is of my grandfather. Im not sure the exact date I drew this, but I'm thinking it was sometime in the early 2000's. The second is a drawing of an 82' Corvette. I drew this one about 5 years ago. You can tell by looking closely that these two aren't as technical, and the shading is a little off, which is something I tried to work on in my recent one above, and something I will continue to work on in the future.
