Introduction

I began my Life drawing with a sketchbook and graphites to start, then looked at reference photo to begin the process of doing an outline of the picture, which I had to mentally figure out the overall proportion and poses

I then began to do the sketch, starting from the bottom and worked my way up to create a rough size of body, and I felt that I was well within the range or as saying goes trial and error, which is where I wanted to go, so that I can determine how to scale in long-run

After I sketched out the upper body with arms, shirt collar and gloves for the hands, I then began to draw the head, and then after that, traced the eyes and then the nose, which took a few revisions in order to match the picture, and not be off by a huge margin.

I then drew the mouth and then the hair to give the overall effect of a still life figure, which was a stunning success.

After I drew in the features for the head and adding the pockets for the shirt, I then began the process of adding some crease details in shirt to add that averall effect of a shirt that had some wrinkles and such, with mixed results.

 

I find doing creases to be the most overall challenge, yet I find it to be liberating and a challenge worth cracking so as to become more proficient in my understanding as an artist.

I then start to use Prisma Colour Pencils to fill in the shirt, and hair plus the fleash tone of the kind lady, and I felt that I did her excellent justice with careful planning, carefully-selected colours to ensure authenticity and integrity.

 

This was possibly my favorite part of the process, which gives me inspiration in the Colour process and how colours brings things to life.

I then used this Colourless Blending Pencil to blend in the colours in select areas to give perception of seamless and continuous texture of clothing, as well as creating the way her hair colour was in picture, and I feel that this was certainly the best way to enhance pic sketches 

Conclusion

This was my 2nd attempt at a life drawing, and though I may not have been completely accurate, I felt that at my skill level I accomplished something in such a short time, and I feel that this was just the opening success towards a bright and artistic future.
