Drawing Beautiful women of Steemit - First Week @gringalicious

Hello everyone, today I bring a new section to my blog, which consists in making portraits of the people in steemit. This idea was given to me by my dear friend @jokossita, who for months told me to do it, but because of my own fear that the drawings would go wrong, I was keeping postponing it; Until a few days ago, I saw a post from @gringalicious (which I really liked) and I asked myself: when was I supposed to start making portraits of people in steemit? And well, my answer was simple, I will draw her !! From that day I started working hours and hours until I finish it and this was what I achieved. I hope you like it!

To make the portrait I used a 2B pencil for the sketch, a 6B pencil for the shadows and an eraser for the lights; Also I used a Charcoal for the background.

The image that I used for draw @gringalicious was a photography I found in one of her post.

PORTRAIT PROCESS

I started doing the sketch of @gringalicious with a 2B pencil, which took me only 2 hours! I was impressed, since I had never done a sketch of a face in such a short time.

Then, I proceeded to add the lights and shadows to the face and part of the body. In which I used only a 6B pencil and an eraser, for lights and shadows.

After that, I give realism to the hat that @gringalicious has on the photography. I used a 6B pencil and an eraser.

After having made the hat, I decided it was time to make the jean jacket, I didn't know how to do draws of clothes but I took the risk and the result was magnificent (in my opinion hahaha). I also did the other accessories, which are the necklace and the ribbon that hangs.

Then, with a cotton ball and a charcoal, I made a simple background, to make the character stand out. Also I modified some parts of the drawing.

I leave the drawing of the hair last because it's what I still don't very well as the clothes. For the hair I used a 2B pencil for the base a 6B pencil for the shadows and eraser for the lights. Also retouched some parts of the drawing, add some details and the draw is ready. This is the final portrait of @gringalicious

It's Done

I hope you have enjoyed this new initiative It will make me improve my skills as a artist and you will get to know awesome people of steemit that really is making a change and supporting the platform, I also hope that you liked the portrait I made of @gringalicious, I worked hard to achieve a good result. I'll be making this each week
