This art piece took a long time for me and is one of the first art pieces I've done since last year. I utilized lesson 2's idea of texture to help me create this. I made white a number of mistakes like the face, however, I am proud of this. Please feel free to admire or critique.

Hey, I really like the pair of opposite textures that you made with the flowy, almost feathery hair and the face.

I recommend that you avoid telling that you made mistakes upfront; that doesn't help "selling" your piece, though I honestly was surprised when I saw the good quality of your work.

Hi,

Appreciate it. I will try to be more humble toward myself. I tend to highlight my mistakes early on as a defense mechanism against harsh criticism. However, it is useful to learn how to allow the drawing to sit there and be observed. thank you for the advice!

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
