I began this drawing with one thought in mind “I hate when my fingers are cold”. It’s very cold at @caffetto and my hands are slowly freezing over as I type. I’m also stuck between groups of people venting about their relationship woes. Cuffing season is now in full effect. 🙄 If you’ve never heard of cuffing season then maybe that’s for the best.
I successfully blocked out the noise coming from neighboring tables and began doodling. I still have some tweaking to do on my G-Dragon sketch so I figured I’d get some practice in.
Thanks to @steemitadventure, @reinhard-schmid and several others for the encouragement and positive feedback that I’ve been receiving over the past few weeks. I feel driven to produce better work through practice and it appears to be paying off.
My drawings recently have been more delicate. If you haven’t noticed then you can see it in my 2AM drawing from yesterday and from my relaxing sketch from four days ago. Let me know what you think of this new style that I’m leaning towards.
Instead of shading with a grey/black tone I chose to use the darkest warm tone that I used for sketching. Mixing warm shading to the cool added more color interest along with depth.
I thought the image looked a little weird floating so I added soft fabric like texture to the background.
I guess the best thing about feeling uncomfortable about this cold would be the inspiration that’s grown from it. I’m gonna grab myself a hot cup of coffee to warm up these fragile limbs of mine.
