Renaming this series of posts to "Today's Sketch" instead of "Daily Sketch", as I do have other priorities that is on-going (Mainly my shift work) that hinders me from sketching everyday. However, that will not stop me from sketching during my free time. I will still try to have a high frequency rate of drawing in order to maintain the consistency that I have been striving for.

Today's subject is @tinker.bell_u, someone whom I found randomly on the Instagram exploration tab. I did this piece in an hour and with 3 tools: my 0.3mm mechanical pencil, 0.5mm mechanical pencil and a blackwing pencil. The mechanical pencils mainly took on the hair and outlines whereas the blackwing handled the darker shades of the drawing.

Where did you learn to draw like that? Is incredible. Since a few days ago I have been very interested in drawing. Too bad that really drawing is not my strong hahahahaha I would love to have the luck of that girl and that you would have drawn me. Maybe for the next? hahah
Hi! I'm self-taught. The hobby just followed throughout the years, drawing is like every other interest- you'll get better in time. I'll definitely consider drawing steemians in the future!
Great! It would be a good initiative. You could do contests to see what steemian you draw. hahaha would be fun :)
Well done. Your talent is amazing. Enjoyed seeing the various stages of your creation.
