[Tip of the Week; Week 5: Go Monotone!

When playing around or if you're lacking in inspiration, try drawing/coloring something in monotone.
What I mean is, use all one set of colors like only blues, or only reds, only one family of colors. You learn a lot about the color by making a whole drawing around it, you get added emotion and feeling that sometimes can't see in the vastness of many colors.

Have fun!

{Digital Art} It's a Good Morning! - Mandisa Portriat!

This is Mandisa, she pwns.
She made Simon Apologize.
We Love Mandisa.

Okay lets get to the art......

This is Mandisa, she's a Christian singer but she got her start on American Idol.
I aimed for the same goal as with my TobyMac Portriat, not "realistic" but you can tell it's the person!
This took me a while, and I lost motivation and inspiration but still managed to finish it. I went through editing the sketch a bunch of times but the final sketch is below.

Enjoy!
