Hello Hivers, happy Sunday!
Today, I want to share with you my new art work. It's a random portrait drawing of a beautiful young woman wearing big round glasses. Her smooth long hairs can be seen projecting downward as she bends a bit to showcase her gorgeous look.
The portrait was done with AutoDesk sketchbook application and aided with an S-pen. I used scribble technique to create this piece.
Thank you.
Greetings,
Your portrait is absolutely captivating!
The use of the scribble technique with an S Pen brings such dynamic energy to the piece.
Is the scribble your go-to style?
Thank you bro.
Yeah, scribble is my favorite style that I love to use cause it gives me the freedom to flow in any way I want. It also helps me to free my mind. I can work with other styles though.
Autodesk SketchBook with the S Pen feels perfect for your scribble style, the energy in the strokes really comes through. Those round frames add so much character they might need their own bio. Do you stick to one brush for the whole drawing or swap brushes as you refine the features?

You are right man. Thank you.

I think I have answered you this question like 3 days ago. This was my reply:
I use about 4 brushes for the work. If you look closely, just one brush cannot give you those depths.
Different brush for outline sketch, another one for first coating, another different one for more depth and some part of her dark hairs and another brush to block in.
Just that in this sketch, I used them simultaneously and interchangeably, so you will hardly notice unlike my previous works where I used them at various stages.
My bad for asking again, and thanks for laying it out. Using them simultaneously totally explains the soft depth and those punchy darks. Do you tweak opacity and size as you go, or keep a few presets ready so the rhythm stays smooth? Also, are those stock SketchBook brushes or ones you tuned yourself?
I rarely tweak the opacity cause I can also control the brush tone with the pressure I lay on each stroke but if need be, I do tweak it.
There are many brushes there after downloading the app. I make use of the ones available for me and the ones there are numerous that I can't even use all. Just explore and pick the ones you find suitable to use.
That makes perfect sense. Using pressure for tone keeps things fluid, with opacity tweaks only when needed. The stock set is massive, so exploring and sticking with what feels right sounds like the way to go. Appreciate the insight.
Thank you dear. Will be waiting to see what you will do with pencil or ink😊
