Few Tutorials and Challenges!

Over the last week I followed a few tutorials and did a few "challenges".
I hope somebody likes them!
Enjoy!

1. The Lighting Challenge

I have done this challenge before a few years ago, and described my process but this time was a little different. This time I also used a different media for each angle.

2. Following Tutorials By Mark Crilley.

I first followed his current (as of May 30th) tutorial on How to Draw Baymax From Big Hero 6 (Must see that movie else you're not living life right!). After that one I followed How to Draw a Mouth/Lips Front View. Lastly I followed How to Draw a Mouth/Lips 3/4th View. I showed him (via internet of course!) and he said they were beautiful! I feel cool enough to do this.

I used 2 different HB #2 pencils (one was cheaper so it was more scratchy and made darker marks), a black prismacolor (must stay true to Crilley tradition!), cotton swabs for blending, kneadable eraser for normal erasing as well as highlights, and I broke my own tradition of NEVER using a ruler (because I in all honesty hate them) and followed the tutorial even down to using one. Which it worked out good but I still hate rulers.....I'll get over that....Eventually...Yeah..

I also hardly ever use grayscale, I do ink drawings but that's black and white. So since I don't do any of these things I'm pretty proud of my results!

3. "Right Hand Challenge" (For me it's the Left Hand Challenge!)

The challenge is originally called right hand challenge because most people are right-handed but because I am in the same category as Einstein I am left handed. ( I kid about being Einstein but he was left handed)

The point of this challenge is you draw a picture with your "favorite hand" and then try and draw it again with your "dumb hand" (the one you don't use as much). I drew something I know good, a sunflower. This actually got me feeling physically sick going against my body's natural rhythm. But I managed to finish it! - I think considering I'm not ambidextrous at all this came out pretty well.


Just a normal pencil.

More Sketches!

Here are some more practices....These are over the past 2 weeks...or so. I hope anyone who wants to look enjoys these! :3


Sketched with a normal pencil then colored with soft pastel. After Ink is added (a sharpie ultra fine point). The horses I drew from memory the birds and cats I followed tutorials.

Random doodling with oil pastels.

 The apple and pear I think are both soft pastel and colored pencils. Other stuff is a sharpie pen.

Messing with baby oil and oil pastels with colored pencils.

This is more like a painting than a sketch but I was practicing so I guess it counts.
I followed a tutorial in a book for drawing the Cosmo, the rose is just how I draw a rose...My watercolor pencil skills almost ruined this, I just took over it with Raphael watercolors instead and went with it. - Watercolor, white pen, pencil for sketching, kneadable eraser.

May God bless all you and all you love as well as they health of yourself an all that know you! ~ Amen
