A Look can get you Hooked!


Description: The concentration here lies more upon the expression of the face. The way those eyes smile along with the lips was a great challenge to achieve. The glowing face which lies on the support of knees and hands is a very lively posture depicting happiness, relaxation and a pose quite often found in advertisements and posters of models. 

Technique: Pencil Colour Sketching
Firstly a very light layer of sketching is done using simple graphite pencils - HB or B. Then the most lightest shades are done first, to keep the base bright and bring out the colour as of the skin. The darker colours are then used making strokes and to highlight the shadows created on the hands, face, neck and the pleats on the cloth. The eyes are then detailed out with a sharper tip to maintain that sparkle and curves of the eye brows that make the look more prominent and visible. Here spreading the shade isn't required as filling with strokes takes care of the mixing shades and creating the suitable colours for the cheeks, and the curves on the neck. Once the main figure comes into form, the hair and the background are filled in to highlight the foreground and finish the whole.
