I thought it would be nice to show you more than only the final result of a
drawing. That’s why I made picture’s in between different stages of my drawing
of Troye Sivan while I was finishing it (See previous blog post).
I have some drawing tips you can use that worked for me, so this is not
really a ‘How to’, but more a ‘How I’ ;)
These
are the contours I started with.
This
is the first shading layer. I drew the shading layer with a HB-pencil. The
layers tend to get coarse or too dark really quick when you use softer pencils.
Here
are the first darker parts applied. It helps enormously if you make the darker
parts seriously dark. That way your drawing will become more realistic. For
this I use a black pencil and
6B-pencils.
If you want to make your
drawing look really realistic, you have to dare to show imperfections, like
bags under the eyes or a spot on the skin or a big nose. You will see that when
you don’t leave out those characteristic features, your drawing will eventually
look more like the person you’re trying to draw. :)
At
this point I thought that it looked more like Miley Cyrus, what do you think?
And that’s the final result! I‘m not totally satisfied
with it, but if I have to wait for that, this little article will never be
online :p
I hope you liked to see this and I hope to see you here again soon!

P.S. I also have Tumblr now. It will become more like my international page, that’s why it’s in English. If you have Tumblr too, you can follow me at:
