Laugh Profile

 


This "Laugh Profile" originated from Karen Campbell's tutorial for Awesome Art School. Karen gave step by step drawing and coloring instructions, for this happy girl. She used guides, while I decided to draw the girl by eye onto a page in my Stratmore Drawing Paper Pad. Not a great drawing but I like her!

Using my drawing and Karen's reference, I drew this "Laughing Profile," again in my Ohuhu Marker Pad. I followed Karen's direction in coloring my drawing using Ohuhu Markers. The free hand drawing wasn't great, but a bigger mistake was not coloring the girl correctly with those markers. She ended up covered in streaks! I added Micron Pen details and went to bed! In the morning I decided to try again to color over those streaks and did it several times. The last time using the second color in a circular motion, it took! Of course some of the Micron Pen bled, but I did my best to minimize the bleeding. There are areas where the last pass of markers didn't take. I'm ok with that. I added white highlights.

I'm pretty satisfied with this girl, considering the mess I had made!

Awesome drawings. I love how you've played the shadows in the first one. The texture of the hair in both drawings is great. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.
