Update, More colored in.

Here is how far I’ve got this evening, I’m going to work for a few more hours before I’m done for the night.

I thought around this time it would be a good idea to take a picture.

There has been a few different colors added, say that your guess or idea of what this could be might change.

Many guesses throughout the process. Guesses that are exactly the same, share with a person or two, or just single minded. The creativity has been outstanding. I appreciate the time people take to observe my art and tell me what they see.

With what has been added what do you see now? Is your guess different at all?

I won’t give the answer away, but give you hints, I’ll try my best with the hints.

Goodluck observing and guessing at my art.

Progress on drawing (added color)

I’ve been adding color for the past few days. This is how far I was two days ago. I have a little more colored in than what is here.

At this point I thought it was the time to take a picture.

Look at the details closely and you can start to make up a picture within your mind. Remeber the colors create the picture, so think of things that are this color. Or maybe the colors don’t even matter, with art anything is possible.

Obsereve the picture for a while and create an idea of what you see.

Did your guess change at all from last time? What do you see this time?

Let me know what you see in this picture, thank you for viewing my art.

I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend.

New sketch (Finished)

I started the sketch on Thursday, forgot to take a picture of what I had finished. There was only a small sliver of what is here now, probably 1/6 of this.

On Saturday I started working on it in the evening and it lead up until the night. I literally didn’t stop to eat till I finished sketching. I was that determined to finish it. It was around 11pm.

For some reason in the past, I used to only want to make drawings in one session. Now I create drawings up to 10 sessions, it varies.

I’ve learned a lot in the past year or so, my speed of sketching is improving by x2. I notice it does’nt take me as long to finish something. It’s all in the practice you can’t give up.

With what I have sketched here, what do you see? Like usual, you can ask questions and say what you’re thinking. But I won’t tell the complete answer, only hints.

Imagine colors of your own, within your mind. look closely at the details.

Goodluck guessing, thanks for viewing my work.

lion

The complete and finished drawing.

Using this color scheme was a little different than what I’m used to. It was a little challenging using darker colors. Most of the tones are very similar or almost alike.

I only used a few colored pencils on this whole drawing. When I create the tone I just add white. I’ll try my best to explain. Lets say a “shape” is dark, ill grab what pencil I think is correct. Then add the amount of darkness I think is needed. Apply white over the dark area. Then add the darker color again. etc..

layer on layers.

Keep doing this till I’m satisfied with the results. Moving on to the next shape. one by one. A slow but steady process.

If the “shape” needs to be dull or light I add a tint of dark pencil and mostly white.

It’s similar to mixing paints in a way. Just using pencils. hopefully I did a good job of explaining that.

There were many guesses throughout the process of creating this, ranging from all over the place. If I could go through all the comments and gather them up, i bet you would imagine most of them in your head too. The fact you can see something means you’re using your imagination.

As always I never give away what’s going on in the drawing that’s for you to create in your mind. You create the story, all I do is create the picture. It takes nothing but a picture to think a thousand words. speechless but not.

This is a drawing of a Lion. I used black, gray and white colored pencils to create this. Interpret the picture as you imagine.

Almost Complete

This is how far I got on Thursday. With having this color combination it’s a little tricky to fill in all the shapes.

The shades are different in every shape. No two colors the same next to each other. Maybe similar, but a different tone to create the picture.

I’m thinking I should finish this either tonight or early in the morning next time I draw. No tension put onto the paper or the art won’t create the way it’s suppose to. Take deep breaths and slowly over time each shape will be filled in.

A long game of patience, to be honest making art helps me with my everyday to day life. The patience it takes to create art you realise how important patience is. At times I feel like getting angry, but then I remember “patience” Dont give up.

With what I have colored in, what do you see so far? Has your previous guess changed from your last?

Progress on Drawing.

 

The colors on this are quite different than most of my past drawings. I’ll probably end up making another one like this. I’m not sure what I’m drawing next.

This is how far I have reached since Monday. I worked on this drawing for a while on Sunday as well. I’m doing the best I can with the colors to separate each section.

As of what I have right now, what do you see?

If you see something crazy, still comment and let me know.

Maybe you have already guessed, but now your guess is different.

For comparison.

Adding color now. (Black, Gray, White)

Iv’e been working on this quite quickly. It’s a little smaller than most of my pieces, but has a lot of little details.

The colors in this one are different than most drawings I’ve made. For some reason I feel like drawing a black, gray and white drawing. It brings out a different beauty to the eye.

These are the colors we would see if there was no light. Reality would be completely different. Appreciate the simple fact of colors.

If this were to be in bright colors and happy colors the energy of the picture would reverse. Maybe you look at this and feel different than you would if there was color.

Imagine a dark and gray, glommy world. All of the time. No sun or colors. It would be kind of depressing. But interesting on how humans would act towards each other.

With the color I have added, do you see any image? If so, what do you see?

No one is ever wrong or correct. Any guess is accepted.

Thank you for looking at my work.

Finished Sketch.

Here is the finished sketch. I ended up coloring part of it as well. Whenever I finish a sketch I always want to show you without color for your interest.

With no color your eyes don’t know where to focus and you’ll look all over the place. Maybe your eyes focus to one area, creating a picture within your mind.

All I will say is look at the darker areas. The patches of black will identify what the picture is. If I did’nt color in the darker areas, I would get lost in my work myself. There would just be lines connected everywhere. Doing this helps me out.

With the sketch being finished what do you see in this image?

Remeber to relax and not get overwhelmed looking everywhere. Take your time and think of what your eyes see.

Progress on the Drawing.

As I said in the last post, the proportions were messed up. When drawing this piece I noticed things wern’nt matching up.

I had to erase a major section and restart. If it looks a little different don’t be confused. I rather restart on a little part than being lazy and ignore it. Perform at your best.

With what I have done so far, does anyone have an idea what this could be? Look closely at every detail and try to imagine within your head what you see. You might see more than 1 object or thing. Or maybe you see nothing.

Just look and observe that’s all I ask for.

I’m going to start posting the link to the previous post, so you can compare the two if you would like.

Start of the new drawing

It took me a while to find a picture that caught my eye. Eventually I decided to draw this image.

The paper is turned sideways. I have masking tape holding my paper down. Try to ignore it, sorry about that.

I noticed that when I was last drawing, I messed up some of the proportion. The current image might be changed a little bit, but the same idea.

I know I don’t have much here. With what I’ve drawn so far, can you guess what this might be?

Take your time observing there is no rush.
