Hello Steemians,
Here is another portrait made by me @kayda-ventures . Creating art to promote life in us.
My creative process is always interesting and amazing to me to be honest and this is because I derive pleasure and fun when I draw. It ease me of my worries ,pains and it's not a thing I do during my leisure times alone and also it doesn't define a mood for me to make portraiture which means, in any mood I find myself, I can draw anything to give it's resemblance. Passion for drawing brought this to me. It doesn't feel like I am doing a great deal; it feels like I am getting more knowledge to the ones I have before and improving it. It's always an adventure, and I always learn something new in every steps I take.
Just as we can see above, I work towards resemblance of reference pictures
The process:
1
The first step I took in the production of this portrait is that, I took one of my grided sketchpad in the measurement 12 by 15inches. Then I make use of my mechanical pencil to draw box by box in my eggshell sketch pad. What I mean is that I represent every of the strokes and patterns I see in each box on the reference picture on the sketch pad just as I see it.
Following this, I was able to create the sketch just as you can see in the image above.

Here, you will see that there is a slight difference in the image. Here, I made use of pen to create the design. Much is not here. All you need to do is to make your designs the way you see it. Box to Box representation.

Here, I made use of pen(black ballpoint biro) to make the strokes and hair strands. All you need to do is to make accurate strokes in the production of the hair just as you see it. Box to Box representation.

In creating the shades if the face, the rules of making progress of work box and box doesn't change. Here, much patience is required so as to differentiate between the sides that has dark shades and the side that possess light reflection. If following the shading box by box, it will be easy to create an awesome portrait looking exactly like your reference picture.
This is the basic steps required for the production of a good portraiture. If you have a question, feel free to ask. Don't forget to like, comment, follow and vote.
