Nude Drawing Contest: A Woman's Curve
[nsfw]
Hi everyone! I am here again to participate in a drawing contest with a theme, Nudity initiated by @yoganarchista. This is my second try to sketch a face and body like this. I am more of an anime artist. (Hah! Artist! Self-proclaimed!) So, a constructive criticism is highly appreciated.
If you don't like this kind of drawing, then better stop scrolling.
This is for the purpose of art alone.
As I've mentioned I only draw anime characters and this time I decided to go beyond what I'm used to. I choose not to color this one since I'm still a beginner when it comes to coloring.
It really took me almost 3 hours to finish this art. I really had a hard time of her hands and face. Thankfully, I was able to finish it somehow.
Materials Used
- Mitsubishi Uni Graphite Pencil 3H
- Mitsubishi Uni Graphite Pencil 3B
- Mongol 2 Pencil
- Rotring Eraser
- Sterling Oslo Paper 9"x12"
- Sharpener
- Cotton buds
Working Process
First
I sketched from the shape of her face down to her legs using Mitsubishi Graphite Pencil 3H. I find it hard to draw the eyes first since I'm not a minimalist person. I always draw on a large scale however, I'm only using a 9"x12" Oslo Paper so I better control it beforehand.
Note that when sketching you need to create a lighter shade/body line.
Second
The hair which is hard to achieve especially when you go into more details, that is, it will be a time consuming. With that, I decided to just make a simple long and wavy hair.
At the same time, I also drew the hand. I can't really visualize the hand totally and for that matter, I asked for my sister @goiinmary to picture me while I copied the girl's pose.
Again, this should be in a lighter line.
Please don't judge me! Hahaha
Third
Lastly, the face. I used my selfie as a reference and copied the shape of my eyes. I made a marker so that I can create an almost equal in size eyes. However, even with a marker, I wasn't able to equate the eyes. I'm not used to this kind of lines and markers. I usually sketch right away. But, I'm planning to go beyond the border, so I started using it on the face only.
Shameless selfie though I really wasn't able to copy my eyes a hundred percent.
Fourth
I then used Mitsubushi 3B to create darker lines. Shading is not my forte actually, but I just follow the rules in our engineering drawing wherein I choose the source of light and do the pointilism to shade the the darker and lighter area of the materials or object. I used Mitsubishi 3B to shade the areas that are against the light, otherwise, I used the Mitsubishi 3H.
However, I still wasn't able to perfect the shading. I badly need some tips and more practice though! :)
Fifth
For the last part, I used a cotton bud to create and spread a smooth shade. I used the eraser of Mongol 1 Pencil to erase the part where I mistakenly darken the area. And used the rotring eraser to clean up the extra lines.
Time Lapse
Final Output
Have a blessed day!
Keep steeming and keep the fire burning!

Hi everyone!!
I encourage you all to support and vote
Terry @surpassinggoogle as your witness.
Just click here and type 'steemgigs' on the first box.
hard to believe that the whole drawing is done by the same person. because the body looks really realistic, the shading is great. but the face doesn't look so good. may be because its a nudity contest so you focused on the body more
Not really though. I was really had a hard time in her face. I'm used to draw big eyes like the anime characters. I still need more practice on this. Thank you for this. Highly appreciated!
:)
For a beginner id say the body is drawn well, not perfect but its good.
A little more practice.
The face is cute but its more anime style still. So youll have to watch more tutorials on realism.
Great effort :)
Probably id score you 8/10
You stepped up and im proud :)
Tip:
But when i was a beginner, i did worse. Just keep going.
Try bigger drawings, it helps you with proportions.
The tendency for small faces on smaller drawings is that our perception of space is somewhat affected. We tend to enlarge the eyes nose and mouth in a small space around the face.
Godspeed.
I'm a forgetful person so I need to screenshot this one! I really need a bigger sketchpad. Thank you for your tips! You've given me tips before and this again! Thank youuu so much! I always said this that you're one of my inspiration! God will bless you even more! Mwaaaaahhh
