ARTBLOG: MAYMAY ENTRATA'S PORTRAIT (with steps on how I made it)

Good Day Steemians

In this post I made a fan art of a Filipino Actress and Comedian Maymay Entrata. Stencil Art became a mainstream art in 'Guhit Pinas' ('Draw Philippines' in English) Facebook group page. I got interested on it since it's new to my ears and eyes.

As I watched YouTube videos about Stencil Art, the process involved cutting out stencil layers on a plastic sheet using scalpel and then spraying paint onto the cut part. But I did not do the cutting part in this portrait. I made a different process to achieve this art that still looks like Stencil Art. 😁

Below are the steps I made in order to finish the art I made.

1. I used "Carbon Photo Lab - Double Exposure Blending Effect" app in the first step

I uploaded Maymay Entrata's picture to the Carbon Photo Lab. It can be downloaded from Google Play Store. Carbon - Photo Blending transforms the photos into artworks using threshold effects (Popularly known as Galaxy Effect). In this case I only use a single color of purple.

This is the portrait of Maymay Entrata which I uploaded to Carbon Photo Lab app:

You can adjust the strength of the color until you are satisfied:

2. The second step I did was applying the grids

I used Drawing Grid Maker app for adding the grids on top of the image.The grids serves as a guide for sketching.

3. Next, I sketched the image with grids to the bondpaper and drew it using pencil. After pencil, I shade the necessary parts using ballpoint pen and black marker.

I took the process shots to show the process of the drawing.
