Expressive Markmaking


Drew this on my lap while watching A New Hope ^^. I felt like drawing with my markers that I just picked up my little A5 sketch journal and started drawing quickly with my mechanical pencil. I didn't like the first figure that I drew because I thought it to be too small for marker work, and that is why I drew the bigger figure on the edge to be able to work the markers over the skin of the face and hair.
I quite like the effect of this quick work. What I've learned from my life drawing classes has greatly improved my drawings. I particularly like how her face turned out with the marks from the marker for the shadows and the pen over the top and pencil underneath.
This post is to make up for my lack of posting this week :<, the batteries in my camera ran out and it takes AGES to recharge them. So I have not been able to take some pictures of my work this week. I've only got this one up because it's on such small paper.
