ShowYourTalent With Steem - Contest #9: ronaldo. by @eugeneshokare

Hello everyone. I hope you all are doing fine😏. So today I decided to join this contest because I've been seeing alot of wonderful works and I felt like drawing so here's my drawing

These are the tools I used:
HB pencil
H pencil
4B pencil
6B pencil
An eraser
A razor blade
And an ink pen
Earphones for listening to music while I draw😅
And a cotton wool to blend although I didn't really use it

I used a reference photo from www.pinterret.com

STEP1: I got my things ready

STEP2:I started my sketch from the hair down to the eyes then I continued up to the nose

STEP3: I completed the nose then I moved on to the lips. Then after that I sketched the jaw and the neck, after that I finished up the whole face

STEP4: I slightly erased the whole work

STEP5: I started making the outline with the word "steem"

Then I finished up the outline

STEP6: here I started using the word "steem" to darken the eyes and eye brows and the side hair.
The trick I used when darkening the eyes and eyebrow was simple. I just wrote the word "steem" continuously on top each other till there was no more gap I used my 4B to darken the eyes and nose

STEP7:
I started using the word "steem" to shade with my HB pencil

STEP8:
I started making patterns on the hair with my 6B pencil because it's darker

STEP9:
All I did here was continue rewriting the word "steem" until every position was appropriately covered

This is the edited version of my drawing

Well that's all ☺️ I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for stopping by.
