Throughout July I was in the mood to do some artwork. I did two similar, yet very different drawings at Landslejr where I didn't know what to draw, so I just drew something random, and "art" came out of it.
But after Landslejr, I was still in the mood to draw, but this time something more specific. I wanted to draw the SMT-team who visited us this Summer
I got a new phone, so I tried out its camera, and documented the process of making the drawing.
 |
First, I chose a
picture of Team Denmark I found, as a foundation to work from
|
 |
From that I drew a
general outline for all six present
|
 |
One by one, I would
sketch them out in detail – first Sean
|
 |
Chaslyn
|
 |
Sam
|
 |
Lyndsey
|
 |
Lauren
|
 |
And finally, Jake. I
was contemplating whether to call the drawing finished here, but I decided not
to
|
 |
Instead I decided to colourise the
drawing
|
 |
I started with colours
that I would use multiple times, because I thought I wouldn’t need them again
afterwards – I was wrong
|
 |
As the layers of
colour were added…
|
 |
…the features of the
pencil drawing slowly vanished
|
 |
So I brought out a
black pen, to redraw them as they were needed
|
 |
After colouring Sean’s
water bottle, I again contemplated calling it finished here
|
 |
| But, then I got a little carried away with my colours, and came up with a background as I went along |
 |
| Well, now I had a background for the drawing, what then? |
 |
Shading, of course
|
 |
Some more flowers, and
some bushes
|
 |
Added some outlines to
the clouds, and various shades of green in the grass, and blue in the sky and
river
|
 |
Et voila! My drawing
is complete
