Draw Lisa Black Pink

Posted on 17/11/2021 by YenWong

Today, I am trying out a new sketch book which is the kraft paper. I bought this from a local art store . I wanted to try other medium than just bristol alone. When working with kraft paper, one good thing is the brown paper can act as skin tone when comes to portrait drawing.That is the charisma of this type of paper.

When come to drawing, I am applying some loomis method to get the idea of the placement of the eyes , nose and lips. Sometimes, it is just sooooo hard to get the sweetness of the character. Before this, I have tried to draw Lisa before but I give up , just because lacking the sweetness of her face.

But I realise one thing, I totally forgot about leaving some brown tone of her skin using the paper. Damn it.

I am eager to try more of portrait drawing using kraft paper. After this first drawing, I feel this Hahnemuhle kraft paper is very forgiving as I have done some corrections using kneaded eraser. I am really afraid that at some point , the paper fibre may give way. But I am lucky that this is not happening.

Material use :

kraft sketchbook – A5-size (14.8cm x 21cm) or A5 size · 80 sheets or 160 pages

Drawing Ikaris and Sersi (Eternals Marvel)

Posted on 13/11/2021 by YenWong

I feel drawing and coloring marvel characters can be so challenging . There are so many things to consider , likeness, clothing ( one of the most difficult subject for superheroes theme ). So many blending technique to know about. Frankly speaking, this coloring video is such a scary moment for me ..

As mentioned in my video, this request was came from a close fren who is a close soul to me .She is not an artist by the way, so there is no videos on her channel :). But she is always so encouraging when I hit into any obstacles in my life , including my drawing journey. A big thanks and hugs to her.

The paper that I used was strathmore bristol smooth . And paper was 22 x 22 cm . I love square size for bigger drawings that allowed more spacing.

Color Timothee ( Dune Movie ) Using Colored Pencils

Posted on 06/11/2021 by YenWong

Today , I would like to share about my process in coloring Timonthee ( Dune Movie ). First , I would like to talk about using photo reference. Normally when I go through pinterest, I will look for photos that have strong cast of shadows.I feel that photo with significant amount of sunlight will create dimension and impact to the photo. It will make the photo looks more 3 D.

In the original photo, there is sunlight casting shadow on one side and it created a tint shine of yellow onto the skin. Therefore , I am using cream yellow as base color onto the face. Then I added some Burnt Orche onto the 2nd layer and some shades of walnut brown on the side bridge of the nose.

I am using burnt sienna on the outline and onto the hair , but I feel , Timothee’s hair is more towards walnut brown ….. hmmm. I don’t have a particular rule when comes to coloring, but I try to follow closely with the photo reference .

Material use:

Strathmore Bristol Smooth and Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencils

Below is my time lapse video on the coloring process, if you like it, don’t forget to like, comments , share and subscribe to my channel. Thanks

Drawing Taylor Swift

Posted on 04/11/2021 by YenWong

This is not the popular image of Taylor Swift that I am trying to draw . I love images that tell a story,not necessary be the typical front view of the portrait when trying to search for a reference. I am a pisces and I depends alot on my feel and emotion when come to draw.

This reference was somewhere back then when Taylor Swift sang this ” The Hunger Game” soundtrack ” Safe and Sound”. By the way, it was 10 years ago and you can imagine how young Taylor Swift was back then. Have you watch this music video ? This was quite touching.

Coming back to the drawing, I love the side view of her where she was looking far out to the open field area. I am trying to throw a background on this drawing as it looks quite plain. So I was thinking of throwing a dark background .

Material use on this drawing is Strathmore Bristol Smooth Paper , Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I am using Indigo Blue , Shinhan watercolor for the background .

Portrait Challenge# 2

Posted on 24/10/2021 by YenWong

I don’t know how long this challenge going to end 😛 , maybe I am going to do this a little while.

I am always particular when comes to choosing the right photo reference for every mini project that I am uploading onto my youtube channel. This photo reference always stays on my mobile phone and I wanted to do the drawing one day and here it is.

Actually, I am quite satisfied with the overall face effect that I want to convey in my art. She was quite subtle and delicate. Facial expression is one of the most difficult subject in my portrait studies.But but…. I have issue with drawing arms and hands . I feel they look abit too skinny.

Whatever …. I always planned them in my little sketchbook before a video was made. I get questioned about how I drew portrait. I don’t have better advice as I am not a professional artist. But I do them in my own way that is I studied them really and REALLY close each time when I am holding the photo in my hand.

I don’t know if I interpret my drawing correctly as I find it abit soft and sweet for this drawing .That is why, I have decided to add in my own elements , the boxing gloves. I love telling a story in a portrait. I will do this more often in my future videos

Inktober21 #Day17 ( Collide)

Posted on 17/10/2021 by YenWong

No,I am not doing the whole 31 days of Inktober. It will kill passion if I am going to glue to my chair for some intensive drawings.

I have done day 13 before and you may check out my youtube link. Anyway, this is just for fun and nothing too serious.I am drawing this on Canson Aquarella paper for this mini project.

I decided to try out brush pen with some ink .Actually , I quite like about the unique strokes created by brush pen. The one that I am using for this drawing is Pentel Brush Sign Pen Artist.

This is a NON FADE/WATERPROOF brush pen and definitely not suited if you want to work with other water based medium like watercolor/Gouache etc.

PORTRAIT CHALLENGE

Posted on 07/10/2021 by YenWong

OK, I admit I am kind of breathless while looking at the photo reference and draw it at the same time. So far, It never happens to me when drawing any female portrait . Back to the sketching process. This is by far one of the more challenging portrait other than Gal Gadot. I have done it twice just because I could not get the expression and proportion correct.Damn it.

The facial expression is killing me , with multiple corrections in place. Then came the hairstyle portion. Another challenge… I have short attention span and when comes to hair or clothing, I always just brush it through. Since there is some back light at the back of the model,I am using burnt umber for the outline and simple layering.After that, I used Walnut Brown for the main colors. I try to color it by putting them in group.

This is the final result .

Drawing and Coloring Daniel Radcliffe

Posted on 20/09/2021 by YenWong

This drawing of Daniel Radcliffe was a rather quick one.Actually, I have no intention of picking Daniel Radcliffe as my subject, but just that it appears on my pinterest page and that was it:) This is the thing when you try to multi task by drawing and video shooting at the same time. I totally forgotten to take the initial photos for my website.

I am using polychromos colored pencils accompany by the Faber Castell Classic colored pencils. I some how think that they are easy to use.

The colours for this drawing is mainly earth tones and I was making sure on the landmarks for Daniel’s face features. For this drawing, I am using the reference points method. Actually, I wanted to try the grid method as it is more accurate, but I am way too lazy to construct the grid lines on the drawing. His Face features were thick and bushy eye brows, sunken eyes as well as squarish cheekbones. I am making sure to always check back the reference photos on all the features.

Below is a very short video youtube video on my speed drawing process and I hope you like it.

Collaboration with Artist

Posted on 19/09/2021 by YenWong

I have recently done an art collaboration on youtube with an Anime Artist, MdrawingM. She is really fantastic on her anime styles. This was my debut collaboration with her and I actually got this idea about drawing the Marvel Character , death dealer from the Marvel Movie , Shang-Chi -The Legend of The Ten Rings.

I do not want to do it alone for this round and decided to have collaboration with MdrawingM. I had contacted her via Instagram instead as there are no other means of contacting her.We had a quick discussion about what we wanted to do and I gave my idea about this drawing. She was happy on this and there it goes with our first debut collaboration.

There are different ways of collaboration ideas on youtube.For ours, it will be we drew and colored the character and release at the same timing.This was the fastest and easiest way to collab. Below is my drawing and you may catch my drawing over my youtube channel below.
