I wanted to improve my drawing skills, and so I undertook a series of increasingly difficult drawings. This is the first of three in that series.
In this piece I practised a coloured pencil technique that involves laying down a vibrant colour, then blending a more neutral skin tone on top. The resulting drawing exaggerates the colours of the original reference photo, bringing forth more whimsical and fauvist characteristics.
This drawing is coloured pencil on paper. I used a reference photo.
