Final project

I decided to study this course as much as I could to translate what I've seen in it and add it to my common art style. I've always had problems with coloring big areas, so much of my drawings are mostly very small. The pens I use are really complicated to use for coloring, and with the teachings of this teacher about using colors, I think I will start a new journey with mixing colors with pens, and maybe I'll finish finding my art style. Here is the drawing I've made for my final project compared to the last one I did while trying to do a perspective building with a person inside, yet I couldn't finish. It's hard for me to draw in such a realistic way, so, I like to combine some realistic features with cartoonish ones.

For the reference, I used this photo generated by AI I found on Pinterest. I know Ai often has its problems to make faces, yet I tried my best to make them as accurate and symmetrical as possible. For the drawing, I used color pencils for kids because I couldn't find any good pencils in my local stationery store, and I also included color pens because it's easy to me to make outlines and decorations with them, and I think they look good combined with color pencils.

I think it's very simple, at least in my case. I like drawing faces with big eyes and with very vivid expressions (not in this case because I tried something simple to start). Furthermore, I first drew the Loomis method head structure with a graphite pencil and made circles to remind myself where the eyes, lips, and even the nose are located in it (as well as for the nose, I also did a cube above its circle to not lose its shape). And, to finish using the graphite pencil, I made a kind of hexagon to mark the hair outline and have a better perspective of it before breaking it into smaller pieces. When I was done, I made the outline with a black pen and got the result of the first image. I wasn't very content with what I had gotten, but I decided to keep it up. I erased the graphite and starting adding colors while hearing the teacher, considering and using her tips as I colored my drawing. Likewise, I added the colors and pens and got the second image as my final result, and I can't help but think that if I keep this up my drawings can become even better in the future.

I feel very content with the final product because I can now reach spaces I could have taken hours to color with pens and have a horrible result to color the skin and hair and get a nice, pastel drawing that at least I think it's a great start for me to start improving more.
