Good day to you all.

As my contribution to the Hive Learners Creative Sunday and my love for art and drawings, I decided to participate in the week's art and sketch initiative.

This is an artwork. I should call it penwork. Most art and sketches are made using pencils, but I have decided to step up my game and use a pen for all my drawings.

You can only define a true artist when they can come up with an artwork out of anything and not just so dependent on certain materials. The advantage of using a pencil over a pen is that it can be easily erased. But as for pens, once you make a mistake then you have to start over again.

STEP BY STEP

STEP 1: Freethinking and Kickstarting

This week I have decided to come up with an amazing sketch that somehow express how i have felt in the past few weeks. Life is not always smooth, it has it ups and downs. We really cant tell how much we have to endure, the pains, the challenges, just to achieve our goals.

But no matter what, its said that happiness is free and we shoujd try as much to spread happiness across. I have watched many other content creators on ticktok gift random people along the way slme flower 🌺 and they appreciated ot with much love. So I decided to sketch a hand giving out roses.

The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring art out, but I had no idea what the art could look like. I just have to make sure I bring something meaningful out of it.

STEP 2: Sketching

The next step after getting the tools was to sketch, and sketching is always done to avoid mistakes. Make a light appearance of how you want the artwork to look like. And if there should be any necessary corrections then it would be way easier to amend.

At this stage, I had to sketch the flower. Then i moved on to the hands, and then finished up the leaves.

STEP 3: Value Addition

After making a perfect sketch, it was time to include some values.
At this stage i had to draw the flower petals. Then the hands structure so it could bring out the giving look.

STEP 4: Tracing

Tracing is all about giving a proper and clearer view from a sketch. When you trace it gives the final chance to make changes and corrections to the artwork.

---

STEP 5: Final touch

Giving it a final touch makes the art more incredible. This is where I had to give the arts some design. I traced the edges so thick which gave it the final and lively appearance. It wasn't easy getting a point that worked well for the view. But I gave my best.

STEP 6: Shading

After all, I got to shade and shadow it. This was to give it a better life appearance from angles.
