_{Beautiful Man | Ink}

Hi, lovers of art and work of hands! It’s already 7:42PM as of writing and I feel like sharing my newest artwork. I started sketching this morning and started inking after class hours while I was waiting for the classroom cleaners to finish their assignment.

This ink art is done by hatching and cross-hatching. My students were watching me while I was doing this. Some got curious about the many pencil lines on the face. I told them that these are guide lines that would help me in locating the areas to be darken. In other words, I was referring to the values in my drawing. A very important element in art.

Anyways, here’s the process of making this art which I call, “Beautiful Man”. Up to this age, there are still people who make fun of the skin color. In simpler terms there are still racists including my students. I immediately corrected them that the value and beauty of every person is not based on his/her race, religion, language and culture. And as an artist, you can always see beauty in anyone and everything.

I think I need to stop talking. Enjoy the process pictures:
