My drawing process:
I typically start out with a pencil sketch, usually using a 4B lead pencil. Then I add some rough shading followed by fine shading. Next I wet the areas I want to paint and immediately brush color over the wet areas. I push and pull the color around, creating a sense of depth which causes the subject to pop. The process of watercolor is similar to that of a pencil sketch. I add darker color tones behind the object and lighter colors on the outside to make it pop as well. I finish my pieces up with a black gel pen for extra depth and white gel pen for the highlights. Any free time I have, I try to get some sketching and drawing in. It’s therapeutic and makes me happy. The icing on the cake is when I see that there are people out there that enjoy my work.
