Completed sketch of a stunning girl for a scammer Ha Ha. Step by step
Hi everyone hope you are well.
As an artist who accepts commissions online I come across a lot of people trying to scam me for artwork. But this one really took my interest. After very quickly working out that it was a scam I still found the image provided for a portrait very interesting. And decided it would be a bit of fun to have a go at the drawing and provided the scammer with a watermark image that they couldn't use.
Here is the completed sketch 😀
Here is the original image.
So to start I rough in the sketch then tidy up the image a little.
I start laying in a bit of shading to establish my highs and lows.
Looking a bit rough? 😀 Now I start to blend my work, you can see her face taking shape,
Mostly happy so far. I start to work on her hair. Adding shape and depth by making sure my lines are flowing and using an eraser to add highlights. I work on different sections at a time but the process is the same.
And mostly done! Working on the hair this way can be time consuming, I just love the effect and think it is worth every second. Now using another layer I finish her shoulder using the same method I started with. I also start another layer under her hair just to darken it a little more without altering the work I have already done.
And here is the copy I gave to the scammer lol.
I still had a heap of fun with this one. And I would have loved to have seen the look on the persons face when they opened what they thought was the finished product. Ahhhh... Its the little things in life. 🤣
Whats up with the last photo? Someone steal this image?
Yep. It was a drawing for a scammer so I decided to have a little fun with him. The last image is what he received :-)
Jackass gets what he deserves. You should use "You are looking at a stolen photo. Why do you look at content from a thief?"

Beautiful work. I like your drawing more than the photo. I found you on the #payitforward contest. You were featured by @tony19r. Congratulations and all the best to you.
Wow. Thank you. I didn't know :-)
You draw really well! There are scammers for almost every profession, it's left to you to identify them and know the best way to deal with them. Good luck.
Thanks 😀 Normally I just ignore them but this time I couldn't help myself.
Hahaha

Your drawing skills are impressive! Glad to hear that you were not scammed.
Wow, I wish I could draw so nicely. Looks great, well done.
I love this!! What comes around goes around, right??!! Your work is also very amazing :)
I found your work because @tony19r featured you in the "Pay it Forward" contest.
HaHa Thanks @lynncoyle I enjoyed sending him that lol. But the drawing was great practice and a lot of fun. 😀
You are welcome! I actually thought about the work you put into it too :)
Kill-em with kindness, and really cool work that they can not use. Very nice drawing, I love the step by step process slide show. I found your work because @tony19r featured you in the "Pay it Forward" contest.
Thank you @bashadow :-)

Hi @andrewsmodels, I came across your profile in the teamaustralia update and wasn't sure if you know @mitchhunter who also makes lots of cool models on Steemit (but is not Australian). I am involved in a group on Discord called @steemmakers and it would be great to put some of your posts where you have made cool things there to share with other people! Good luck with your Steemit journey :)
Thank you! I will certainly check it out. @plushzilla are you able to give me the discord link as I can't seem to find it.
