This time I chose to draw an African American, which I had been hard pressed about by my sister, Ava. She wanted me to stretch myself, and as a result this was what I created. In addition, I tried some other unique styles that was very different from what I had done before.
Today I tried practicing with a brush on procreate, the 6B pencil. I altered the brush a little bit, however, and made it especially sharp on the ends, which allowed me to achieve this look:
Today I chose to do something completely different, which was drawing a coy fish. I used brushes I had never used before, and had so much fun!
For one of my school classes I had to read a part of Revelation and draw the Tree of Life. I drew this on Procreate, and it will be presented in class tomorrow. Also, for the Google Doodle Contest, I unfortunately didn’t win, even though this was expected. I will keep entering in these contests, however, and not lose faith in my drawing abilities. I had so much fun for both of these projects!
Today I tried something different and drew a cactus, which I have never done before. I also tried a different way of shading and highlighting, and specifically, for the shadows, I completely did them in black, and then turned down the opacity so it still showed up underneath. I did the same thing for the highlights, although using white, and it ended up being a lot of fun!
For my science class, I had to create a poster about photosynthesis. I used Procreate, and wanted to show that you don’t only have to use it for drawing pictures. You can type with different fonts, color in titles, and so much more! My mom is a teacher, and suggested that I should try to do it on Procreate, because she knew that I would enjoy the project more.
