This was my mark for me to start selling drawings. And to draw portraits for other people. So I thought I would share it. I spent about 4 days on this drawing. I wanted it to be perfect and this was the first drawing that I drew in about 3 years. So this Shay Mitchell drawing I will not be selling, but I do plan on drawing 2 more of her.
Outline of Shay Mitchell and eyes done. Most people like to draw extra lines and markings on there drawings. I guess those are there guides. But I don't use guides. I just sketch the outline and then fill in what I see. I was never good with having extra lines and stuff as my guide on my drawings, it just threw me off.
Half of Shay Mitchell's face finished. usually I would have done her eyes, nose and then lips. But because this was some what of a side view of her face, I didn't feel comfortable approaching the drawing that way. Approaching the drawing from the left side of the face, made it visible that the face was forming in a more 3D realistic way. And sorry about the glare, that's the one bad thing about using graphite and taking a picture of it.
Her face some what finished. When I got towards the end I darken her face a lil bit.
Her shoulder and chest area finished.
First Layer of her hair added on. What I mean by that is I try to apply as much of the shadowing in her hair that I can see. and then I make strokes in her hair, like a bunch of lines. And then I go over all those strokes and smudge them in to create a solid. With that being done, I should be able to see most of the shadows that I applied and some of the lines to give a guide in how her hair is flowing.
Finished (01/17/13) drawing the beautiful Shay Mitchell from ABC Family, Pretty Little Liars. Her hair is darker in person.
If you like my drawing and have any suggestions in who I should draw, just leave me a comment. Also, if you want your own personal drawing, I can do that, with a price of course. I am very fair with my prices. If you want a 8.5 in. x 11 in. drawing. The starting price will be $10.00. If you want two faces on that same size paper it will be $20. I do not draw more than two faces on a 8.5 in. x 11 in. paper. For a drawing on a 11 in. x 14 in. paper, the starting price will be $40.00 and an additional $10 per head. If you are interested please leave me a comment and we will continue from there.
